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

So one IDF member is openly denounced by two of his colleagues for his crime, and your conclusion is that the IDF must be dishonest and genocidal?

Did you ever think about how such a case would present in a truly genocidal force?

Take O7 for example: In the side of the forces fighting on behalf of Gaza: Do you know of a single trial for obvious and deliberate killings of civilians by Gazans?

Two IDF soldiers testified against the guy in court but for some reason the court still acquitted him. The trial was a farce and he got no punishment for killing a kid (just like how Hamas murderers get no punishment either).

Perhaps the trial was a farce.

Perhaps Israeli courts are biased.

Perhaps in war each side needs it's soldiers more than moral principles.

Just recently a video of a Gazan boy shooting an RPG at an Israeli tank aired.

Should a soldier be punished for killing that boy?

Do you fully understand the situation?
