Isreal has a Right to Exist.

My opponent claims, "No where there does it say i have to accept anything. Indeed you are confusing my responsibilities with your own. You may "give context", but this doesnt make me honour bound to accept your deliberately manufactured context. "However the DDO tutorial states, "That context might include a whole opening argument, a description of the general area of debate, or specific definitions. "My opponent claims, "So they granted independence to a country by forcibly splitting it up into two peaces. This strongly implies that Palestine was not allowed to self govern previously, perhaps it was a British vassal. "However the Mandate for Palestine as not a Country, it was a Mandate, much like the French Mandate for Syria. A Mandate is a legal status for certain territories transferred from the control of one country to another following the First World War. Before becoming the British Mandate, the Mandate for Palestine was Territory under the control of e Ottoman Empire, known as Ottoman Syria. Ottoman Syria was a Territory, not a Country! !! The Territory of Ottoman Syria lasted from 1516–1918; so it was a territory since the 16th century, not a Country. My opponent claims, "And I remind my opponent, that delaying recognition of a country in the UN does not change the fact that this country exists. "But my opponent fails to acknowledge that fact that they claimed an established country as their own. That is like claiming that the North American Continent is now the state of Oz; it just doesn't fly. My opponent claims, " Israel was made from Palestinian territory but never formally recognised by Palestine it doesn't have the legitimacy to do any of those things. "But my opponent has failed to realize it was created from a British territory, not a Palestinian one; just because they call themselves Palestine does not mean they owned the British Mandate for Palestine. This is a propaganda technique known as transfer, which was first used by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis in 1938. Transfer is an attempt to make the subject view a certain item in the same way as they view another item, to link the two in the subjects mind. . http://library.thinkquest.org...By using the name Palestine, Palestinians can create the illusion that the British Mandate belonged to them, rather than the British. When the Ottoman Empire lost the first world war they agreed to giving up the territory of Ottoman Syria to the League of Nations, who gave it to the British, who in turn gave it to Israel. In other words, the legal owner of the territory gave the region to Israel. My opponent has stated at the end of round 4 that he "left a video implying you were judge dread. Irrespective of the credibility of such a statement, it was an Ad hominem fallacy. But the fact that were unable to recognise that demonstrates that you have not learnt critical thinking. Which implies you are disputing something without actually understanding it. " However I did recognize it, I watched it, and I chose not to respond to the attack, because I was hoping this debate would not degraded to name calling, and attacks on the debaters character. I kindly ask my opponent to please look up the difference between a debate, and a fight.
