The conflicts between Israel and the various nations around it are well-known. And the memes about them and their post comments are similarly well-known. Nearly without fail, the moderator team has to deal with rule violations in the comments of these posts, and sometimes even in the post itself.
Ultimately, the benefit to the subreddit of having these sorts of memes is not worth the effort and headaches that they cause for the moderation team. Therefore, memes which deal with either general or specific Israel-Arab/Palestinian conflicts are going to join the list of other banned topics of Rule 5: Banned Memes and Formats. We intend to remove it from the list at some point, though we're still figuring out when that will be.

Clarification question: is this concerning all conflicts, or just the current conflicts?
