Should people boycott Israel for inhumane acts against arabs? (BDS)

2. "My source may have bias, it is called the israeli times. However I was citing an article which discusses an unbiased report." Con claims that the report cited by The Israeli Times has no bias, though you did not explain this. I would like for you to explain how this has no bias. Your source also listed that this report was conducted by retired military generals and "independent military researchers." This is just too broad of things to say, and we do not know the level of bias these generals have. They probably do have bias, because there are many sources that say the exact opposite. The offensive that Israel has caused has casualties over 2,000 people. http://www.bbc.com... This argument is about casualties, and the resolution specifically says inhumane acts against arabs(Palestinians). Inhumane acts-1.lacking human qualities of compassion and mercy; cruel and barbaric. Oxford Dictionaries. There is proof that Israel has caused over 5,000 casualties. Even in the source Pro cites, it states that casualties will happen in war. Well, I can actually accept this. But, the main problem with this is that the circumstance is extremely different. The circumstance involves 53% of people wanting to separate from Israel, and the majority supporting a terrorist group as there last resort. This is the circumstance that Con has to defend. 3. "5,000 is also a relatively small number and when you tell a population for their entire lives that a sky monster will torture them for a millennia if they don't follow every word, then they will do pretty much anything." There are two problems I have with this statements. First of all, there is no evidence concerning the idea that 53% of Palestinians think that Allah wants them to break away from the state. Second, even if that is true; you are not going to be able to change the mindset of the Palestinians. Saying that a whole population believes in a hallucination is one thing, but you are not going to convince them to stop believing in this hallucination especially if it is a Jew or Christian. This just supports the idea that Palestinians and Israelis also have different cultures. They both are followers of two different faiths, and have different cultures. I will go into this argument later. 4. "I argue that a maybe biased source cites a non-biased report that refutes all of your claims." This was also done to refute the UN. The UN actually had accurate sources. Your source had bias in it, because several sources that I listed in previous rounds would have to be lying. 5. Apartheid- (in South Africa) a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race. "segregation on grounds other than race: Oxford Dictionaries If I was unclear, this was the definition that I provided. And, Con has done nothing to refute the claim that there is racism, and this has caused laws that make life unfair to Palestinians. 68% of Israelis believe that the Arab population was subject to racism.http://www.jpost.com...... "As a Palestinian citizen of Israel, 21-year-old Shadan Jabareen says she has experienced institutionalized discrimination since she was a child. In 1994, her parents wanted to get away from the constant noise and the overcrowded Umm al-Fahm and move to a Jewish-Israeli community."http://www.aljazeera.com...... Her parents had to battle back against legal pressure just to buy a house. The admissions committee never wanted them there. The Supreme Court ruled it illegal to discriminate in housing admission based on ethnicity or religion. This was overturned September 17, 2011. "If admissions committees view applicants as "harmful" to the "social-cultural fabric of the community town", they are permitted to turn them down." "Basically, if you are harmful to the traditions in a community town, than the committee will force you out. More recently, she recalls that in July, she was denied a summer job at Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport. "The lady who interviewed me asked if I'm a Muslim or a Christian," she explained. "She told me it's going to take a long time for a security check because I'm a Muslim."" This is just one example that effects little more than 1.5 million Palestinians. My opponent has to take under consideration that there were laws and communities discriminating against the Palestinians. This not only is racist, but immoral. I hope my opponent feels the same way about racism. 6,336,000 Jews live in Israel 1,754,000 are Muslim. 6. "The use of citizens as human shields does negate your points." No, it does not, because you still have yet to dispute the fact that Palestinians support Hamas, and want to separate. You have not given any evidence to counter this fact. 7. "I have said numerous times that I am in support of a two state solution. It is palestine itself that has rejected EVERY SINGLE offer ever put on the table." This claim is very unfair, because this shows how the Israeli Government thinks. The Israeli Government can claim that the Palestinians have rejected every deal, but Israel has not? "During the early 1980s, Israel"s excuse was the Palestinian Liberation Organization"s refusal to recognize Israel. In 1988, we recognized Israel on 78% of historical Palestine, a deeply difficult and historic concession. Twenty-six years later, the number of Israeli settlers within the remaining 22% has tripled. Next, Israel"s excuse was lack of Arab recognition. In 2002, the Arab League introduced the Arab Peace Initiative, offering recognition from 57 Arab- and Muslim-majority countries in exchange for Israel"s respect for UN resolutions. Israel"s response? More settlements. Most recently, the Israeli government came up with a further qualification"that we should recognize Israel as a Jewish state, safe in the knowledge that this could not be accepted. Rather than being afraid of not being recognized, it seems Israel is afraid of recognition. Today, Netanyahu and those representing him, including Lapid, Ya"alon, Lieberman, Bennett and Ariel, are creating a new excuse to avoid the necessary decisions for peace. This Israeli government, which continues its settlement activities all over Palestine, is trying to blame national reconciliation for its own failure to choose." Israel rejected peace deals that they thought were not favorable to them. If my opponent wants to win the point, he would have to prove that Palestine actually had a fair proposal, and they denied it, of reasons Con would have to explain.
