    Hello, While you are assigned the Israeli side, I hope you research both! It should be a very intresting debate. Gotta warn you though, the debate has been going on for more centuries than the average mind can conceive. Basically, the whole situation boils down to a very old family fued. Check the old testiment ( Genisis chapter 21) The promiced land was to be given to the decendents of Abraham. However a little glitch occurred when Sarah, who was in her 90's felt like she could not conceive so she sent her husband to a concubine to produce a son. His name was Ishmeal and was loved by his Father and the Arab/Hebrew tribes. Then, lo and behold, Sarah gave birth, just as God had promiced and he was considered to be the true heir to the thrown. His name was Isaac. The son of the concubine and she were sent out from among the people but were promiced that he too would be the Father of a great nation. So Isreal has always felt entitiled to the land because of God's promice and Ishmeal became the Father of the Palestians and as the first born felt his inheritance entitled his heirs to be the rightfull owners of he land. Thru the years, the Isreali's have been disobediant to God's commands and were scattered across the world. After world war 2, the international tribunals decided that the best protection they could offer to the Jewish people was to set asisde a small portion of the original Holy land to once again belong to the Hebrews of old. You can imagine the dismay of the current occupants that were told they no longer owned or had right to the land that had been their homeland for hundreds of years. Like if the Seminoles knck on my door tomorow and tell me to move cause they want their land back and have the consent of the govt to do so, I am going to be a little peaved. Several surrounding Arab nations took in the Palestenian refugees but most were homeless anf at the mercy of others. Every Arab nation raised up arms against the old yet fledging nation and since 1948 when it was ordained as a soveriegn nation, it has been down a path lined with thorns. There is prediction in the Christian bible that states "any nation that stands with Isreal will stand and any that stands against her will fall". The US and other western civilizations that are Jewish or Christian by majority hold fast to this promice. The Moslems built their temple directly on top of the temple of Soloman after its distruction in approx 70 AD but Jewish remnants remain till this day such as the wailing wall. In recent years Isreal has attempted to provide a small piece of the land back to the Palestians that had not been part of the original international tribunal in 48 but had been captured in wars since that time. The struggle between these nations established by a single ancester will continue to go on as long as there is life on this planet.

    The Arab nations continue to insist that Isreal does not have the right to exhist and most of their text books exclude Isreal in the teachings, but consider them to be occupiers of Palestian lands and continue to call for their withdrawal or extiction. I am as a Christian, called upon to not only support Isreal the nation, but to await the rebuilding of Soloman's temple asa sign of Christ's second coming. But I can see how and why the Arabs in general and the Palestians specifically feel that they were robbed of their inheritance. My Bible says.."Pray for Peace, but there will be no peace." In this vital part of the world where life on this planet began, it is fitting somehow that the conflict of exhistance it's self resides. Key words you may want to look up include the1948 resolution to create an Isreali state, the 6 day war of 1967, the middle east peace talks with Jimmy Carter, Menachen Beagin, and Anwar Sedat and the prevelance of suicide bombings of populated sites in Isreal. The different political parties of all sides including the Fatah party of Anwar Sedat compared to the Hamas and other parties of today's Palestian leaders and from whom they are funded. Well, I hope that you find something here that will help you! Best of luck to you!

    It’s okay to kill a Jew if it’s a hundred or only one or 2. in spite of if it’s a homicide bomber in a marketplace or a vehicle bomb in a schoolyard the place they did park it. The act gets a reasonable point out on the mainstream information CBS, ABC or NBC you decide on. only capturing an Israeli settler now and then will at maximum only get a 10 2nd point out on CNN. yet don’t you enable a Muslim female cry or this is going to likely be transmitted to all of the information satellites interior the sky. The scene would be performed on your television again and again on a daily basis and the image will only approximately on no account bypass away. “They arrested my son” she will have the flexibility to tearfully say, “and all he did replace into kill some Jews the day previous to this”. Secretary-universal Ban Ki-moon will then call for that this Israeli aggression won't stand and could end quickly! The French will then say Israeli oppression is out of hand. Hezbollah, Hamas the PLO will settle for thousands and thousands in reimbursement who is familiar with the place the money will bypass. The UN will choose greater funds for a plan of alleviation so the U. S. taxpayers fund them its previous concept. So the message is obvious on the national information. It’s extremely ok while you're only killing Jews Southern Lebanon is yet another tale; Hezbollah is there in all its glory. toddlers play indoors on Katusha Rockets with superb yellow Hezbollah flags tucked of their wallet. computerized weapons hang on the front room partitions and rocket launchers are hidden interior the apartment halls. Israel planes greater effectual no longer bomb this harmless kinfolk of only toddlers and a mom. they're harmless because of the fact the information media says so, no remember the evidences to the choice don’t question them they only comprehend. The harmless at the instant are unable to get out of how because of the fact the families father has demanded that they stay. Islam is distinctive yet people are to dumb to correctly known the spouse can not depart the living house without mans permission to bypass. i think of it’s cowardly however the ecu thinks its clever to offer up rocket assaults on Israel you may desire to blow the kinfolk aside. the press calls them harmless civilians and greater even although Hezbollah warring parties are status on the apartment door. So now press comments it’s terrible, hateful, evil just to call some, proving don’t kill Arabs yet its okay to kill a Jew.
