What Is The Biggest Obstacle To Peace Between The Israelis And The Palestinians?

Debate Information


It is the emergence of Hamas as the de facto government of the Gaza Strip, where 1.5 million Palestinians reside.

Hamas has regularly attacked Israel with rockets from Gaza or allowed others to do so. It poses a strong and growing political threat to the more moderate Palestinian Authority, which is led by President Mahmoud Abbas and his technocratic prime minister, Salam Fayyad, and which governs the West Bank and used to run Gaza, too. Whereas PA leaders see negotiations with Israel and institution building as the best way to ultimately gain statehood, Hamas seeks to undermine the peace process. Many Hamas members have not reconciled themselves to the Jewish state’s existence. Hamas’ leaders also fear that Hamas would reap none of the benefits of a peace deal and that in the event of one, the PA would score political points at their expense. Hamas has shown repeatedly that it can bring talks to a painful end by castigating moderate Palestinians and turning to violence.

    Argument Topic: The Depravity Of Israeli Propaganda

    "There was no Massacre in Jenin" was the headline of a Haaretz editorial on 19 April, 2002, one week after Israel ended its deadly onslaught on the besieged Palestinian refugee camp in the northern West Bank. This unwarranted conclusion by the Israeli daily, other Israeli media and, ultimately, numerous western outlets, was not the outcome of a thorough investigation carried out by an independent commission of inquiry.

    Quite the reverse, in fact. On 9 April, a UN convoy was prevented by Israel from reaching the Jenin camp and, on 30 April, Israel officially blocked a UN inquiry into the killings. Haaretz's seemingly conclusive statement was the outcome of two types of arbitrary evidence: the Israeli army's own claim that it did not commit a massacre in Jenin; and the fact that the number of Palestinian victims was downgraded from an estimated hundreds to scores.

    In Israel itself, "many feared that Jenin would be added to the black list of massacres that have shocked the world," Haaretz reported with obvious relief. Although Israel had committed numerous crimes and massacres against Palestinians prior to April 2002, and many more since, Israelis remain comforted by the persistent illusion that they are still on the right side of history.

    Those who insisted on the use of the term "Jenin massacre" were attacked and smeared, not only by Israeli media and officials, but also by western media. Accusing Israel of massacring Palestinians was equated with the ever-predictable counter-allegation of "anti-Semitism".

    Palestinian propaganda includes the use of hate towards Israel in Palestinian Authority textbooks and teacher's guides. Social media is used to spread propaganda and disinformation. The Palestinian use of propaganda is characterized as political warfare and an attempt to indoctrinate their own people and manipulate the thinking of nations. During times of conflict, such as the war in Gaza, Hamas resorts to propaganda imagery to influence public opinion. The Palestinian narrative is also enforced through violence against journalists who are perceived as threatening Palestinian values.

    @JulesKorngold
    Palestinian propaganda

    Don't make me laugh, Jules. Palestinians live in abject poverty. They can't afford to buy US politicians and influence US media like the Israelis do. Your very premise is completely false. 

    This is the factual reality of who is proliferating the propaganda:-
