how to avoid violence at social media?
There are many disagreements among Israeli citizens.
Just as the writer noted -
Right-leftists are the grossest division.
I like to say what I think, usually doing it on Facebook. And what to do, not everyone agrees with me.
But guess what? It's even better. It seems very boring to live in a world where everyone agrees with everyone and there are no disagreements.
The problem begins when people take the dispute one step further - did you vote for Bibi? fascist. For Bennett ? racist!. Bougie ? flabby. Meretz? traitor!.
Sometimes this is accompanied by attempts to hurt each other personally and sometimes with juicy curses.
The question of what can be done has three answers:
Answer 1:
Ignore-
Does anyone respond with curses and the discussion becomes irrelevant? Ignore him
Answer number 2:
Respond in the same language -
Cursing you? Curse back. Have they personally harmed you that are not necessarily related to the discussion? Show them what it is!
Answer 3:
Blocked, denounced and boycotted -
Have you had a nasty reaction to a post you wrote? Block it
Cursing you? They confiscated the cursers.
But there is also a fourth answer. It is to try to find something in common.
Not every leftist is a traitor and not every rightist is a fascist.
Someone wise once has told me that he is trying to listen to opinions as extreme as possible. even if he does not agree with them because it expands the boundaries of discussion
I think he was right. And I also think that this is an excellent way to begin to heal the rift here in our country. Even if someone says something that sounds hallucinatory, unreasonable and extreme secret is to be patient, listen and try to understand. Even if there seems to be no chance of reaching any agreement. At least "We agree that we do not agree. "
This leads to the fourth answer:
Patience-
It must be remembered that behind the hateful and cursing comments on Facebook (or face to face) people are hiding and what seems to me the most normal seems to other like pressing them on all the red buttons.
You have to try to find a communications channel anyway.
What I say here may sound simple and easy, that's not the case.
Two things that can help:
The first - behind every curse there is a person that has a whole life. Where did he grow up? Where did he learn? His financial situation? What are his inclinations? His degree of religiosity?
The second thing is simply to remember that someone who is cursing does it for the same reasons that I say what I think -
He is someone who cares and eventually wants our life to be better here.

Wow nice article
Yes .... Patience is a Virtue. I have learned a lot by listening to people with opposing views. Often you realize that there is a lot of misunderstanding and confusion around certain subjects and it is only by being patient and listening that we learn something new and yes find common ground and learn how to work together. We are all in this life together so we better learn how to figure out how to get along and work together in Peace.
