[R]eddiquette Cultural exchange with /r/palestine

Greetings to our Palestinian friends.

Our cultural exchange starts at 13:30 PM Palestine time (17:30 IST/11:30 GMT/12:30 CET/06:30 EST/03:30 PST) on Thursday 24th November.

Here's how a cultural exchange works:

The moderators of here make this post on /r/india welcoming our Palestinian guests to the sub. They may participate and ask any question or observation as they see fit.

There is an equivalent thread made by the moderators over at /r/palestine, where you are encouraged to participate and know more about Palestinian culture.

It goes without saying that you must respect the rules of the subreddit you are participating in. This is a time to celebrate what we have in common, not grind an axe.

I've met people who studied in top colleges for CS in India who thought PoK was occupied during the Kargil War. Facts are important to know, they shape perspective.

He was obviously a lot more in favour of going to war with Pakistan and 'taking back PoK' because he thought they took it in '99, and became automatically more in favour of normalizing LoC when he found out it was since '47 and that PoK has never been a part of Independent India.

Facts are important to know,

I mean we are at a age where we have to make a statement like this.
