Re: OMG.. About 300 killed and 700 injured. Do you think Israel still seeking for pea
You know what term means. Whether you choose to believe it's happening or not doesn't really change what's going on. Whatever sources you have are wrong -- outside of America, most of the world agrees with me. Israel is seen as an aggressor. I'll post some sources soon just to finish with this nonsense.
You're right. I know what the term means. But since you've already misrepresented the term genocide, incorrectly assigning it to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (and which you now seem to have backed off from, appropriately), I want to know what
you mean by the term before I commit to debating you on the issue.
Oh, and suggesting that you are correct because most of the world agrees with you is the
Argumentum ad populum (argument or appeal to the public) logical fallacy. Just because the majority believes something, doesn't make it correct.
Uh, what? Had you added the term, "In Palestine," that'd make sense. But hey, you're allowed to backpeddle on whatever points you'd like.
We were talking about Palestine, no? We weren't talking about "in general", so I figured you'd understand the context. Next time I'll spell it out more succinctly.
I don't care that Israel exists. It's whatever. What bothers me is that they choose to use their might to pick on their neighbor because they feel entitled to more land. That is what's going on. If you don't believe me, you need to do the research. And if you're going to sit there and blame Palestinians for the current drama, answer this question -- why did the occupation start to begin with? Or better yet, answer the question you've dodged twice now -- What were both sides root causes for participating in this conflict? The fact you won't respond to that question says to me that you don't know the answer.
This is the flaw in your argument, Israel is picking on no one. They are defending themselves against terror attacks. If you don't believe me, you need to do the research. And if you are going to sit there and blame the Israelis, for the current drama, answer this question -- why did the occupation start to begin with? This has little to nothing to do with land. It has to do with defense.
And as far as your question goes, I have dodged nothing. I have been busy responding to other things and reminding you to stop with your uncivil tone. When you accomplish that, I will be happy to answer your question...but be prepared to, also, answer your own question.
As to your whining regarding my initial comment... Really? You're in a debate forum and your skin is that thin? I didn't even intend that as anything other than advise. I really think you should go and do more background research. I'm not joking.
Firstly, I've done plenty of background research and understand the situation very well. You don't agree with my position. That's what's going on here. I can say the same thing...that your position is based on not understanding the situation. When you do that, it is an ad hom personal attack...just like the first sentence of the paragraph I am currently responding to. It is not my fault if you are unable to control your nasty, jerky behavior. See? That is what you do. And you need to stop. NOW. All you need to do at this point is say, "yes I will stop", or "no I won't". If it is the former, we can continue to debate civilly. If it is the later, you will get what you give. You started things, but I guarentee you that I will finish them. So knock off the abrasive, uncivil behavior now, which you initiated, and debate appropriately. I do not think I can make myself more clear.
And Sir Lion - When you debate with a mod, I guess you should expect a little fanboy-ism, but just so you know, he doesn't really need your support. He's a fine debater, even if he is a little factually mistaken.
Consider this. Others are noticing your abrasive tone. You have started off on a real bad foot, here immediately. Try starting over. Drop the attitude and just debate. You express yourself fine without the nastiness, so drop it.
