First off, there is no defense using a spelling error as a debate tool. (I note that I also spelled Yom Kippur wrong. You also spelled 'arguments' incorrectly as well as failing to capitalize and use proper punctuation. So what?)

Second, what 'arguments' are you referring to?

I presented one straightforward answer to the straightforward question,

Quote:
So is it seriously your contention that Israel has always been the victim of attack and never the aggressor?

Could you list those 5 occurrences?
Quote:
Maybe he can't/won't, but I can:

1948
1956
1967 (Six Day War)
1973 (Yom Kipper War)
Lebenon (sorry, don't know the year off the top of my head)

The saddest part is that if the Palestinians had accepted the proposed British partition in 1948, they would have had their own state then.

But even up to the latest peace proposals where they had a real chance for a homeland (1992), they have rejected peace, instead continuing to fight to rid Palestine of the Zionists.

If SLM wants to debate who was the aggressor and/or ultimately responsible in any of those five instances, then let him present his case. I however, won't bother debating with someone who can't do it without condescension or insults.

And lastly, you don't ever have to worry about me running to the mods.
