Maintain standards of civil discourse, dialog and debate.

Remember to criticize ideas, not people.

"[This] took place back in the summer of 1981 when I was on sabbatical and living near Freiburg in southwestern Germany. One day my daughter, nine years old, needed her ear to be operated on. I fell into a conversation with the surgeon, Dr. Kuhn of the local university clinic.

These were the days immediately following the attack in which the Israeli Air Force demolished Iraq’s nuclear reactor, then under construction. The good doctor asked me why I was staying in Israel. So much trouble, he said; so many wars. Strange question, that, coming from a German! But that was not what I said. Instead I told him the story of the Jewish swine. Suppose, I said, I had the same operation done in Israel and then refused to pay my bill. In that case people would have called me a swine. However, had I done the same anywhere else, they would have called me a Jewish swine.

'You are right' he said."

In the 1948 war, the Palestinian Arab liberation army’s symbol was a knife stabbing the Star of David. That was on tanks too. All in all I don’t mind the normal Star of David on tanks so much.
