ASEAN NOW's position is already established in our forum rules and has been for many years. Rule 15 specifically prohibits discrimination, slurs, or hostile or abusive comments based on, among other things, religion, ethnicity and nationality. Breaches can result in posts being removed, suspension or account closure. That rule applies equally to everyone. Criticism of Israel, its government or its policies is not in itself antisemitism. However, attacks against Jewish or Israeli people based on their religion, ethnicity or nationality, antisemitic slurs, or calls for violence clearly cross the line and will be dealt with. As with all moderation, we rely heavily on members reporting content that breaches our rules. We respond to reports and, where a breach is identified, generally act quickly. However, thousands of posts are made across the forum and our moderators simply cannot be everywhere or read every post. Something remaining visible does not mean that it has been reviewed or approved by the moderation team. If you see content that you believe breaches these rules, please report the specific post rather than engaging with it. It will be reviewed and appropriate action taken where necessary. I hope that clearly answers where ASEAN NOW stands on the issue. CLOSED
