T.p.m is not an appropriate place for Jews to        argue with Jews.  I suggest the group be unmoderated, and its purpose "a discussion of issues concerning the State of Israel".  It will be gatewayed to a listserv, so no one will have to miss out on the discussions because their system doesn't carry it.  There will, of course, be no requirement for posters to be Jewish. --  /|/-\/-\        |__/__/_/      |[email protected]      / nysernet.org  From [email protected] Tue Sep 14 17:40:09 1993 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,soc.culture.jewish Subject: RFD: soc.culture.israel Followup-To: news.groups Date: 14 Sep 1993 17:16:20 -0400 Organization: Queen's University at Kingston Lines: 32 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:4046 news.groups:81877 soc.culture.jewish:73812  This is a formal Request for Discussion for the creation of newsgroup for the discussion of issues regarding the state of Israel  Proposed Name: -------------- soc.culture.israel  Moderation Status: ------------------ open to discussion  Rationale: ----------  There is currently no specific forum for the discussion of Israeli politics, culture and society.

Just as the existance of soc.religion.islam, soc.culture.arabic and talk.politics.mideast does not preclude the existance of newsgroups for specific Arab or Islamic states, nor should the existence of s.c.j. and t.p.m. preclude the existance of a newsgroup dealing with the state of Israel and its society.  Procedure: ----------  Discussion is to be held *only* in news.groups.  After 30 days, it shall be determined whether there is sufficient demand for a Call for Votes.
