Europe countries should join the BDS and boycott Israel

Unfortunately CON has FF, so I will spend this post further rebutting their R2 argument. Although I used basically all 10,000 characters available to me, I thought some parts were still a little truncated.Israel lets the civilians in Judea and Samaria live as they wantI would very very much disagree with this on several counts.Firstly, Con's source does not in any way say that civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (The oPT or as some Israelis call it, Judea and Samaria) can do what they want. It says that the Israeli occupation shouldn't count as an occupation under IML. Now as I've already shown in R2 there is a massive international consensus that Israel is occupying the oPT and CON's only source is the Israel government itself - which is hardly a neutral and unbiased party in regard to whether or not it is committing war crimes. On this basis I think it could be easily disregarded, but even then it doesn't matter because it's not in any way saying that people in the oPT can live as they want so it in no way supports CON's claim.Secondly, Israel has controlled the oPT for decades in various manners. The formulation over the last two decades is based on the Oslo Accords II of 1995. In these the oPT was largely split into three areas, A B and C. The Palestinians have most control in area A, less in area B and no control in Area C.This was meant to be a temporary measure, a small step during an interim period whereby Palestine would gain full independence and Israel would withdraw it's troops. Israel reneged on the deal and Palestine never got its independence, but Israel still used these areas as the status quo for the last 15 years, employing its military with impunity throughout approximately 80% of the oPT and deploying them in the remaining 20% when necessary. The basis that Israel controls the oPT and has done for the last 20 years is specifically one where Palestinian rights are limited to different degrees throughout different areas of the oPT. Thirdly, the massive overwhelming evidence that Palestinians cannot do as they want.Military Orders given by the IDF in 1967, limiting freedom of speech and assembly such as stopping 10 or more people from being allowed to gather for political purposes.[2]Using military force to effect ongoing expulsion of Palestinians from their land to be replaced by illegal israeli settlers[3], a policy which fits the IML definition of ethnic cleansing as ""a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas."[5]Illegal israeli settlers being given army protection so that they can throw stones at Palestinian children going to school, peace activists and olive farmers trying to gather their harvest. [5]The massive crushing poverty and horrible conditions that palestinians live in due to the occupation, for instance the UN stating that "Three Israeli military operations in the past six years, in addition to eight years of economic blockade, have ravaged the already debilitated infrastructure of Gaza, shattered its productive base, left no time for meaningful reconstruction or economic recovery and impoverished the Palestinian population in Gaza, rendering their economic well-being worse than the level of two decades previous. The most recent military operation compounded already dire socioeconomic conditions and accelerated de-development in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, a process by which development is not merely hindered but reversed."[6] Indeed by some metrics this has lead to parts of the oPT being the worst in the entire world, for instance the World Bank citing Gaza as having more unemployment (due to Israel's attacks and economic blockade) than anywhere else on earth - as well as poverty overall being very high. Further it states that even "These numbers, however, fail to portray the degree of suffering of Gaza’s citizens due to poor electricity and water/sewerage availability, war-related psychological trauma, limited movement, and other adverse effects of wars and the blockade"Indeed movement is a major form of discrimination that has already been mentioned, albeit in depth in one of my sources given in R1. Palestinians have massive trouble moving throughout the territories, the Area A where they are given the most rights being small enclaves seperated from each other by Israel controlled area.[8]This is of course on top of the arrest without trial, torture, indiscriminate killings, etc that have been mention in previous rounds.I find the idea that "Israel lets the civilians in Judea and Samaria live as they want" a complete non-starter as once again it is not just contrary to the international consensus and all evidence, but it's also more pro-Israel than even israel's official position which is that Palestinians can't do what they want in OPT and face varying levels of Israeli control and abuse depending on whether they're in areas A, B or C of the West Bank or Gaza.SummaryI believe CON's arguments are not supported by the evidence presented and arguments made.Furthermore, even if they were, they would be irrelevent as he has not contested two central points made by me in R2:1) That at no point do war crimes become acceptable based on various rationalisations. It doesn't matter if you consider yourself the good guys and the people you're comitting war crimes against the bad guys. The international laws which embody conventional morality do not have ssuch exceptions.2) The "They committed war crimes against us, so our war crimes in retaliation are justified" argument is not only basis in terms of IML but is as applicable to the Palestinians as it is to Israel - hence useless as it can't be made to distinguish between which of the two sides is justified.While CON could perhaps argue against these in the last round, I must point out that doing so only in R4 where there is no chance for me to respond accordingly should be taken into consideration.Please vote PRO.[1] https://goo.gl...[2] http://goo.gl...[3] http://goo.gl...[4] http://goo.gl...[5] http://goo.gl...[6] http://goo.gl...[7] http://goo.gl...[8] http://goo.gl...
