Isreal has a Right to Exist.

To Reiterate and Clarify the rules for my opponent;Rules;1) No using the buzz word Zionism, or Zionist; if you have to, describe it instead of using Because the word "Zionism" has be abused, and distorted, as you so blatantly made clear, with your statement. 2) No race baitingThe act of using racially derisive language, actions, or other forms of communication in order to anger or intimidate or coerce a person or group of people.3) No Moral arguments; we are talking about Legal Rights, not personal feelings.This debate is about Legality Morality is a opinion, and varies from person to person. Moral arguments are meaningless, unless supported by law. 4) Don't just say they broke international law, you must name the law they broke instead of fishing, with a broad statement.You have to name what law they broke. For example If I said "the UK broke international law during the war of 1812" my opponent would have to guess at which law is being referring to, and could not directly respond to the allegations. The Definitions, is to make clear the international Laws. It is in no way "bias", or "authority fallacy"; the definitions come directly from the international law, hence it is not a perceived authority, it is an actual authority. I also listed every definition for the words not pertaining to law, even the ones that do not apply to the situation in order to avoid fallacy. I will not dispute this further since your accepting of the debate was an acceptance of the set rules, and guidelines.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My opening argument After the First World War the Ottoman Empire was divided up among the allies. Ottoman territory known as Ottoman Syria became the Mandate for Palestine. The British and the League of Nations created the Mandate for Palestine in 1920, in order to establish “a Jewish National Home”. The League of Nations officially gave control of the Mandate to the British in 1923. On April 24 1920, the Mandate for Palestine was was 120,466 sq. km The Mandate for Palestine was the 1st borders of the Jewish Nation While the Mandate was still under the control of the League of Nations; the British government proposed the Transjordan memorandum, which split the Mandate for Palestine between the Jewish Palestine, and the Arab Palestine. Transjordan was to be semi independent, with the goal of eventually obtaining complete independence. This was an attempt by the British to allow for Self determination, and in 1923 it passed the League of Nations. Trans-Jordan consisted of 92,300 sq. km of the British Mandate, while Jewish Palestine consisted of 18,166 sq. km. Trans-Jordan made up 77% of the British Mandate. Jewish Palestine was the 2nd borders Jewish Nation. On May 25, 1946, the British Granted independent to Trans-Jordan, making Jewish Palestine the only Palestine in the Mandate for Palestine. On November 29, 1947, the United Nations passed resolution 181, which the Arab community rejected and was never implemented. Resolution 181 was intended to split Palestine in 2 trust territories, 1 with an Arab state, and 1 with a Jewish state. The Arab community was outraged, and the plan was never implemented. On November 30, 1947 several militant Arab Palestinian groups attacked Jewish busses, killing the passengers. These outbreaks of violence lead to the Civil War of the British Mandate. On May 14, 1948 Israel declared independence from the British Mandate, and within hours the British Government and the United Nations acknowledged their independence. In the Declaration of Independence of Israel, Israel stated that it only wanted the land promised to them in Resolution 181. This was the unofficial border of the Jewish State. 12 am on May 15, 1948, the British Mandate expired, and the Jewish State was established. Later on May 15, 1948, the Arab League informed the UN that they rejected resolution 181, just hours later the Arab League invaded Palestine, with the intent to conquer Israel; this parked the Arab-Israeli War of 1948, known by some as the Israeli War for Independence. In January 1949 the War was over and an Armistice Agreement was signed. The 1949 Armistice agreements did Not create official borders, but rather ceasefire lines. With these ceasefire lines, Trans-Jordan controlled the west bank through military occupation, and Egypt controlled the Gaza strip through Military Occupation. During the Military Occupation of the West Bank by Trans-Jordan, the West Bank and East Jurusaluem was annexed by the Jordanian Government in the year 1950. This was the 1st ceasefire lines of the Jewish State. After the Armistice agreements Egypt blockaded Israel’s ports twice. The 1st blockade led to the Suez War of 1956, while the second blockade led to the Six Day war in 1967. Prior to the second blockade the Arab league began massing troops along the ceasefire lines, and when Egypt blockaded their ports, Israel launched a preemptive strike, which was justified according to the Nuremburg Principles. Israel captured the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan heights as a result of the 6-day war. This was the 2nd ceasefire lines of the Jewish State. Again this was occupied, but was never considered borders by Israel. In 1979, Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty, in which they established borders for Israel and Egypt. In 1988 the Palestine Liberation Army declared Palestine independent from Israel, but was never recognized. The Palestinian Declaration of Independence declared control of all of the former British Mandate for Palestine, including the sovereign state of Israel. In 1993 Israel and the PLO negotiated in the Oslo Accords, which created the Palestinian National Authority, within the State of Israel, in order for better relations, and future negotiation of borders.This is the Jurisdiction of the Palestinian National Authority The following year in 1994 Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty, which made the Jordan River the official border of Israel and Jordan. This is the official borders of Israel as Stated by the Jordanian and Egyptian peace treaties. The Palestinian National Authority operates within the borders of Israel. The Israeli borders are defined by the treaties with Jordan and Egypt. There is no disputing the facts that Israel has a legal right to exist.
