It shouldn't be the case that people acting in bad faith can disrupt meaningful discussion between people acting in good faith. I am at a loss to suggest a better forum. Town halls, protests, talking to people on the street, Congress, etc, are not able to have these discussions either.

Maybe this is not the forum, but then what is? A philosophy class you took ten years ago?

Funny that you mention it, but Israel/Palestine was also a banned topic in the “Ethics and International Law” course I took circa twenty years ago.

I advocate concerning yourself with the things you can control, which does not include this forum’s idiosyncratic moderation style.
