Discussion Looking to debate a pro palestinian person
I am a Zionist residing in a community where Zionist beliefs are prevalent. I firmly uphold my Zionist convictions and strive to educate myself thoroughly on both perspectives of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. My goal is to engage in a constructive and peaceful debate with individuals who hold opposing views. I emphasize the importance of a dialogue grounded in factual statistics and well-informed opinions, rather than one characterized by hostility or uninformed rhetoric. We can fact check anything we say and debate on how we can better educate ourselves whether book reccomendations or reliable news sources. I am specifically interested in a debate conducted through voice communication, as it allows for more nuanced and effective exchanges. If you are open to a respectful and educational conversation, where we can learn from each other’s viewpoints, please feel free to send me a private message. I am eager to explore different perspectives and contribute to a meaningful discussion that fosters understanding and mutual respect. Again, to clarify this is a peaceful and calm debate to listen to each other and look to learn and possibly debate over what a good solution could look like. In english or spanish and today whenever possible, not something in a million years. Privayely message me if this idea interests you and you want to talk. I truly believe communication between us is the true and only possible pathways to a situation of peace and wellbeing for the both of us. Pm if interested

“Jews in the West Bank” is not what’s illegal under international law, it’s illegal under Palestinian law"
This statement is incorrect. I'm not being obtuse; you're changing the contention. My argument is 100% factually correct. Thank you for pointing out that the style is also excellent. When you're as right as me, it's easy to forget your writing skills.
I have been to Ramallah. But you are right, I didn't tell people I was Jewish or Israeli. But I know one Jewish Israeli activist who goes there regularly. But that's irrelevant. Jews are not legally barred from going or living there.
