Important conversations shouldn’t be shut down just because they’re hard or some people don't find them convenient.

  Conversations aren’t being shut down. Individual people are are trying to steer the conversations in one direction, and other individuals are exercising their right to not follow that direction. This is akin to showing up on a house party, full of people in small groups discussing every topic under the sun. But you wanna talk about Israel. So you move from group to group and try to steer the conversation toward Israel. And each group in their own way rebuffs you. Some simply ignore you, some change the topic back, some tell you you’re being rude etc. etc.. You may not like this. This may not be the house party for you. That’s fine, but your logic suggests that you believe you have the right to force people to talk about the thing that you want to talk about, and you don’t. Is it good or bad that people don’t want to talk about Israel? I don’t know. But just because you think it would be a good idea. It doesn’t mean you can force the rest of us to agree.

    You are not forced to talk about anything, if the topic is too much for you, just ignore the topic, but please let others discuss in peace.
