- RESULT: Ayes 51%, Noes 19%, Abstentions 30%. Representing a 7% swing to the proposition from the pre-debate vote to the post-debate vote.
The Israel/Palestine crisis has existed since Israel’s formation; with neither side gaining the upper hand despite decades of suffering. In this debate we turned to Israel, and asked whether it was time we declared them a rogue state.

The entire world is so goddamn sick of the Semite and Holocaust cards being played so irrationally and dishonestly.
The last guy basically sums up israel
In their mind, israelis don't violate human rights, because they don't consider the palestinians as humans.
Norman Finkelstein is indeed a legend!

There's a very good reason why it's existance wasn't accepted by it's neighbours..
The promised land for organised crime
how to influence people ??? Every single debate i have seen or heard on the subject of Israel/Palestine ..Israelis always get very, very angry.
man I love norman, he is a rock star. That last speaker was a total joke he should be ashamed to show his face at any debate.
"Did Palestinians not leave voluntarily in 1948?" XD

Wow. Having Norman Finkelstein followed by that Davis Lewis guy was a pretty dramatic lowering of the bar.
A truly great mind enhanced by the privilege of studying at Cambridge would stand with truth and not support Israel just because you are an Israeli.
The lady said 'Its pretty uncomfortable to sit in a bus surrounded by 4 other buses'. Good point. I think it will frightening to get a phone call to leave ur building in 3 minutes or a rocket is going to blow up your building. This is with no direction where is a safe zone or where wont be attacked! I will take the bus option anyday. It must be terrifying to know that u take refuge in school, hospital or a mosque and an army will attack it cos 'they suspect' weapons there. It must be scary to know that a whole building can be attacked cos an army has identified a terrorist in its premises. It must be frightening to know that I as a nurse, para medic journalist, child can be attacked.
My lord the last speech was probably the craziest scenes I've seen in a debate.
Who was that cuddly man at the end? Lord Janner?
'we got a rogue speaker as well'
Audio is terrible, i can't hear anything.
Isreal is more than a rogue state, it is maniac state. An abomination. Isreal was never invaded, wars were started pre-emptively by a paranoid, lunatic state, because it knows its in the wrong but does it anyway. 90% percent of jews there have no claim to that land.
