Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

Israel is just trying to survive. Palestinians parade the streets singing "Death to Israel"Oh, the poor little Israelis having to deal with singing. That certainly justifies shelling civilian compounds with chemical weapons illegal under the Geneva Conventions. Chemical weapons which are designed to burn a person to death from the inside out.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/mar/25/israel-white-phosphorus-gaza

Well...., when you consider that the Palestinian flag is a rip off of both the Puerto Rican AND Cuban flags (different color and no star), Yeah, I would say the Israeli flag is way more creative. Who else has a Star of David on their flag? ;)

Side: Palestine

I am a palestinian from Gaza, I can say that the situation in Gaza has been bad for a very long time.Every one is saying that Hamas takes responsibility for ending the truce in December, but no one talks about the closure that was around Gaza during that truce! Sick palestinians were dying because of this closure! Hospitals were lacking medicine and electricity!Food and fuel was entered in small amounts!Power supply also was not entering in the regular amount!It has been like this for months ... This is all before the recent clashes..If we want to talk about the recent situation (10th day today), almost 540 people were dead, nearly 100 of them are children, not to mention the injuries and the ones left without homes.Maybe the west media doesn't show the palestinian tragedy, but it is a real Holocaust... Our loss is so much bigger that some handmade rockets that hits israeli cities.. How can we equal between F16 , tanks, apache, military ships ....etc with small handmade rockets ????This is not Fair !!!

Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

I completely agree.War sucks.It sucks for the Palestinians, and I really feel for them.But, at some point, a group of people needs to learn to stop following the words of fake prophets, who claim to hold the ear of god, who claim to have some holy right to a piece of land, when really their leaders are just power hungry terrorists, who do not mind watching their own people die if it leads to more power for themselves.I don't believe that Palistinians are bad people, but they keep following these bad leaders.Who convince them to start wars with Israel every few years or so.With zero chance of success.All in the name of some god.Well, you say "How can we equal between F16 , tanks, apache, military ships ....etc with small handmade rockets ????"Maybe that's the problem?Maybe Palestine shouldn't be trying to equal Israel's military might?Maybe they should try following a leader who preaches peace?If Palestine ever wants to capture the hearts of the West and the rest of the world, that is what they would have to do. If Hamas was replaced by the Dahli Lama, the war would be over tomorrow, and in three months the land would be absolutely flooded with foreign support. People the world over would want to do everything they could to help those peacefull people.But no.Palestine is busy making homemade rockets, and complaining about how unfair it is that Israel has better weapons.

All in the name of some godno, it's in the name of freeing the palestinians from miserable sanctioned lives.

If the Palestinians want to be free from their miserable sanctioned lives, then they should stop launching rockets into Israel. How fucking hard is that?

>< Jesus fucking christ mohamud alla zeus and every other piece of fucking bullshit suppressing mankind.What part of stop killing fucking people and asking for shit do you not under fucking stand?Goddammit I hate religion.All the fuck anyone does in the middle east is kill and worship. Read a fucking book, quit falling for terrorist bullshit.Lord the world loves a victim. Is Palestine a victim? I don't know. Were they shoved in concentration camps? Have they been called "infidels" and did some random god call for their extinction?Oh no wait, that was jews, of which comprise all of Israel.You want to bomb someone, bomb christians, they are the only ones on earth to ever befall any injustice on muslims.But fuck no, so much easier to blame jews.Fuck that shit. That is exactly why all of the western world from atheists like myself to these christian idiots supports Israel. Quit bombing shit and acting like pouting kids and start trying to constructively improve your lives and I guarantee you will get billions in aide overnight.As it is, every penny is spent on bombs, none on food. Palestinians stay poor and hungry and your muslim bullshit "prophet" leaders one after another stay rich and fully loaded with ammo.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

Noise. Arabs can not pronounce the P in the foreign word Palestine. The mandate introduced this foreign name, its not a name native to the region. In the 1920s and 30s and 40s, for an Arab to embrace the name palestine - would require support for the Balfour Declaration! Arabs lie.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

"How can we equal between F16 , tanks, apache, military ships ....etc with small handmade rockets ????This is not Fair !!!"All I can say is that you should have thought about that when you fired rockets into a country with the most powerful military in the region.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

Most of the Palestinians killed by Israel are civilians who did nothing wrong.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

That is what the Hamas says. If Israel does kill civilians it is by accident. The terrorists are cowards and hide amongst women and children making it hard for the good guys to take them out. The accidental deaths of civilians is the fault of the terrorists.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

No it is still Israel's fault if they kill civilians. If I break one of your windows, so you burn my house down and kill my family then you are overreacting right? Israel used white phosphorus and destroyed whole blocks of residential houses in Gaza.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

Israel does not target civilians but the terrorists do. Just because Palestinians are killed does not mean Israel should stop defending itself. The breaking of windows is not as drastic as blowing up Israeli stores.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

They are not purposefully targeting civilians, but they are not doing much to make sure they don't kill them. During the most recent invasion of Gaza they bombed a school and destroyed whole blocks of residential neighborhoods. They also blocked medical aide and reporters from entering Gaza. No real justification for that.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

That information is wrong. I do not know where you are getting this, but I would not be surprised if it is supported by Hamas and other anti-Israel orginizations aswell was most of the Middle East who just hate Israel.

Debate: Israel versus Palestine

When rockets are fired into Israel daily,who are the targets? If you want the media in the USA to back you, quit purposely targeting civilians.It is that simple
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

If you break my windows and your family protects you (even though they know you did it and that it was wrong to break my windows) then they sanction your actions and deserve the consequences that follow. Palestinians know Hamas is a terrorist organization and they still voted them into power and protect them. Know they have to suffer the consequences of their actions.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

Thats what Hamas says. What the democracy in the region says is that 1166 were killed and that 957 were combatants. Among the civilians are included female suicide bombers and older teens who were given guns in order to shoot at the IDF. I think they are combatants, but the IDF doesn't even say that. Also in the civilians are those who allowed themselves to be used as human shields. It's well documented that Hamas uses human shields, and most civilian deaths were not caused by the IDF but by the practice of Hamas using human shields.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

I can't follow what you initially said and you cited no sources so I am going to ignore it. Referring to the second half, the "human shield" excuse holds no weight. First of all you really think someone would willingly be used as a human shield? Don't be absurd. Secondly so what if Hamas is even doing that. That does not give Israel any excuse. If the police are in a shootout with someone and they take a hostage to protect themselves, the police don't say "Oh darn they are using the old human shield trick, nothing we can do. Just mow them both down with a machine gun and let's call it a day."

Bunk. Stateless Arab refugees have no rights. The Arabs lost the 1948 war which they started. The Jordan lost the 1967 war which Jordan started.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

I am a Jew with Israeli family. I can say that the situation in Gaza should have been expected after you started firing missiles into my home land.Every one is saying that Hamas takes responsibility for ending the truce in December, but no one talks about the closure that was around Gaza during that truce!No one needs to talk about said closure because said closure will never be achieved so long as Hamas keeps harassing Israel. Even before the cease fire ended Hamas was still firing missiles into Israel. The fact that Israel has much better military advancements should not be held against Israel for being able to completely obliterate Hamas' inferior technology. (Empty trash cans being dropped from makeshift planes)If we want to talk about the recent situation (10th day today), almost 540 people were dead, nearly 100 of them are children, not to mention the injuries and the ones left without homes.If Hamas had not waged "war" against a clearly superior state much of these deaths could have been prevented. Please don't try to make us pity Gaza for Israel's reatalliation on Hamas. That is utter nonesense!Maybe the west media doesn't show the palestinian tragedy, but it is a real Holocaust...Our loss is so much bigger that some handmade rockets that hits israeli cities.. Holocaust?! Do you even realize the significance behind that word? What is currently happening in Gaza is no holocaust. It is merely the aftermath of a clearly lacking military force trying to wage war with a greatly superior force. This was all brought upon yourselves! Don't make it seem like Israel is in any way, shape, or form to blame for these losses! It is simply not true! What Hamas did was idiotic, to say the least, and now Gaza is paying for it for not trying to stop Hamas in the first place.How can we equal between F16 , tanks, apache, military ships ....etc with small handmade rockets ????This is not Fair !!!Fair? You want to know what is not fair my friend?! What isn't fair is people like you asking for sympathy when you put yourself in your current predicament! You want US to hate Israel and pity Hamas and Gaza when you waged a war you knew you could not win?! You people make me sick! What you are saying is pure cowardice and utterly repulsive!
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

YOU should be ashamed of yourself. It is not OUR home land (yes, if you didn't read my other post, I am Israeli). The land belongs to the Palestinians and you know it.You know as well as I do that Israel violated the ceasefire as well. Stop lying. What about the 4 Hamas members that were killed on Nov. 4th without provocation? Some cease-fire, huh?"According to a joint Tel Aviv University-European University study, this fits a larger pattern in which Israeli violence has been responsible for ending 79 per cent of all lulls in violence since the outbreak of the second intifada, compared with only 8 per cent for Hamas and other Palestinian factions."Oh. What's that in your face? Egg.

Noise. Arabs can not pronounce the P in the foreign word palestine. Arabs lost their war to exterminate the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust and throw the Jews into the Sea. Never has any Arab country by the name palestine ever existed. Arabs sided and made alliance with Hitler and his SS extermination goals. Arabs exist as stateless refugees who have no country of their own --- J U S T I C E.

I am not and will not be ashamed of myself. That land was given to us by the U.N. and the Palestinians won't stop bitching about it. They don't want to compromise and you are defending the wrong side! If indeed you are Israeli than I fear how you are precieving the current situation. The land belongs to the Palestinians and you know it. Such BULL SHIT! Land that was given to us by the U.N. is OUR land! That is like saying all Americans don't deserve to be in America! Land given to a group of people by the U.N. makes it that groups land. SIMPLE AS THAT! You know damn well, if indeed you are Israeli, that the Palestinians took an innocent child from our land and we kidnapped and assasinated their leaders for that! They had it coming by provoking us! So please, SHUT THE HELL UP YOU CRAZY MOFO AND LEARN ABOUT WHAT'S RIGHT!!!!!
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

How old are you? 15? I've got ten years on you, AND a college education. Someday you will learn that society is not as simple as you think it is. Just because the UN gives someone land doesn't mean it belongs to them. I know what the Palestinians do/did. But I am not blind to what Israel does. Just because I am from there, and I am jewish, doesn't mean I harbor such blind nationalistic tendencies which prevent me from seeing the truth. There is an objective reality out there, and i hope someday you will find it. I don't blame you for believing what you do. You are only one of millions. It would serve you well to read some books, studies, analyses, and other such academic publications that have assessed the historical and political situation regarding Israel. There is an objective reality out there, and someday you will find it.

this is not fair you say. no shit sherlock, imagine if a hamas squad or angry Palestinian got hold of a tank or apache? they would go on a killing spree. your country is to immature and to terrorist and to zero tolerance policy against a nation trying to spread peace in the middle east that things or going to be unfair, and for good reason. and for your poverty ridden lands, who's fault is that? yours. you decide to turn your city's and your land into war zones. examples, war of Israeli independence, Suez canal war, six day war, yom kipur war, need more examples? and as for Israel controlling the Gaza strip, maybe you should not have the PLO a terrorist group represent Palestine interest and lead your country! honestly don't complain at Israel for your problems, fix them and maybe life would not be so miserable. so next time a Palestinian says "hey lets shoot this make shift rocket at a Israeli soldier!" you should say "no lets not increase the violence and instead lets go help them defeat the terrorist insurgence in are country so life can be better for all of us."
Debate: Israel versus Palestine

Our loss is so much bigger that some handmade rockets that hits israeli cities.So Hamas launches rockets and Israel retaliates and life gets hard in Gaza. Then stop Hamas from launching rockets. Palestinians voted Hamas in, vote them out. How hard is that?How can we equal between F16 , tanks, apache, military ships ....etc with small handmade rockets ????You can't. So why bother putting a group in power that is to brain dead to realize that you can't fight f16s with rockets? Why put someone in power that will ultimately make life in Gaza a lot more difficult?This is not Fair !!!Life is not fair.

Bunk you can not even pronounce the letter P. So your a descendant of Arabs who lived under the British Palestine Mandate. And with a straight face you want to say that your grand parents referred to themselves as "Palestinians". Bull shit. No Arab at that time supported the Balfour Declaration. The League of Nations awarded the "Palestine Mandate" to the British based upon the terms of the Balfour Declaration. YOU lie scum bag.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: self determination

Israel is occupying Palestinian lands, and instead of conforming to the security council's resolution and retreat from Palestinian occupied lands, it brings settlers, women and children, and build settlements on the occupied lands to impose new reality defying the international law. Hamas is rocketing Israelis occupying the occupied lands, which is a legitimate resistance according to the international law. Israel, instead of stopping building settlements in occupied lands, and retreating from the occupied lands, they make a massacre to erase Gaza from the map. After all this, Hamas is considered terrorists! and Israel is defending itself. Hamas is hiding among civilians and Israel is protecting its citizens! What kind of logic is this? what kind of justice is this? Hamas is not hiding among anybody, hamas are the natives, they belong to Gaza, its their land, they are the dwellers, the owners, if they leave Gaza, where do they go? well I know if settlers leave Gaza where will they go, they will be conforming to UN resolution. So who is hiding among civilians here? who is occupying the other? is it Palestinians who are occupying Israel or Israel is occupying Palestine? Is there any justice in this world?
Debate: Israel versus Palestine

No, there isn't any justice. So better for the Palestinians to give up the fight and try to integrate like the American Indian. At some point people have to wake up and realize that their children are worth more than a piece of land.
