It’s so sad seeing a people that have gone through so much trauma fight each other! שנאת חינם שברה לנו הבית!

Being in community with other Jews at this time is really healing. If you are able to join other Jews and pray and sing and do mitzvot together for Israel, I really encourage you to do it.

How to make the achdut/s last

Baruch Hashem there seems to be a lasting truce in Gaza. A refrain I have heard repeatedly during the the conflict Hamas-lead attempted mass murder and ensuing Israeli response (let's call it what is was) was how wonderful the achdus among the Jewish people was. It would be a sad state of affairs if that achdut only appeared in times of danger, so I started to compile a list of behaviors which I myself will aspire to embrace before engaging in dialogue with my fellow Jews online or offline, in the hopes of perpetuating achdus/t. 

Before disagreeing with someone point out at least 3 positive things about their position. And actually take some time to explain why those things are truly positive. 

Be humble and unpretentious when presenting your own side of an argument

Mean your compliments

Reserve strong words for when they are really warranted. The more you use strong words in trivial situations the more meaningless those strong words become (e.g. 'hate' and 'Nazi'). 

Point out where you both have common ground. 

Revel in the success of others. Sure you might vehemently disagree on topic 'X' but when your bar-plugta does something great in area 'Y', acknowledge it. Doing so doesn't automatically mean you endorse everything else that person does/says

Acknowledge nuance. People can hold what may perhaps, to you, seem like inconsistent positions. People do not have to fit into nice clean definitional buckets, and we would do well to stop putting them in. For example, no one is born a Republican or Democrat, nor should anyone have to believe or promote a particular idea simply because they align with a particular party or affiliations. It's not all or nothing. 

Remember that most times the person(s) who you are disagreeing with are actually people. They are not your adversary. They are not a comical one-dimensional bad-guy. 

No matter what the topic is, unless you have received a clear psak from someone who is not as 'fired-up' about the issue under discussion as you are, lashon hara is never ok. If you resort to it you have defeated your own cause by definition.

Think before you speak. It is ok to delete something before, or even after you post it. It is worth trotting out the famous quote from the Kotzer "All that is thought should not be said, all that is said should not be written, all that is written should not be published, and all that is published should not be read."

You can agree to disagree. God loves when his chosen people sincerely wish to understand what his will is and even when they have conversations disagreeing about that truth. God hates (remember what I said about strong words) when his kids fight.

Not every conversation needs to be on the public record. 

You'd be amazed how differently you will speak to someone if you have to do it face-to-face
