Great class teaching the dynamics of conversation, which is different from debate. Why Israel-Palestine as the subject? Because unlike other conflicts, this is a contentious issue which draws in college students, most of whom have no direct connection to the events. We as Americans need to be able to talk about issues and have conversations. If we can talk about Israel-Palestine in a way that respectful and understanding, we could then handle other conversations. Sam had to control the conversation, not to stiffle opinions or perspectives, but to demonstrate how to have a conversation. He did a great job, and there were moments when the discussion was on the verge of unraveling.

Yep. He chose this topic (beyond the obvious reasons) because there's a lack of empathy and critical thinking on both sides. It's so divisive and quickly devolves into hayte.

"Of course" can be perceived as dismissive because it implies that something is obvious or expected, potentially diminishing the significance of the other person's feelings or perspective. It can convey a sense of assuming the other person should already know or agree with what is being said, without considering their individual experiences or emotions. In this context using "of course" might suggest that Ethan believes the girl from Yaffa's reaction should naturally mirror his own, without acknowledging the complexity of her feelings or the unique impact of her experiences. A more true response would be, "for that to happen to your grandparents is a tradegy, and I can't imagine the amount of rage you feel.".

El conflicto en Israel entre árabes palestinos y judíos palestinos, no inicia en 1948 con la formación del estado de Israel, o con la llegada de judíos refugiados de Europa tras el holocausto. Y por cierto no es la primera vez que Judíos de Europa llegan en masa a Israel. Una de las mayores migraciones hacia Israel fue en 1492 desde España, por el edicto de Granada. Luego de la guerra ruso-otomana, en que pierde el Imperio Otomano, en el congreso de Berlín, en 1878, el imperio Otomano abre las puertas a que muchos judíos rusos migraran en masa a Israel, que estaba bajo dominio otomano, esta migración fue coordinada y muy deseada por las castas musulmanas mas prominentes del imperio otomano, porque los judíos venían con muchas riquezas y a cultivar y prosperar, y generarían una mayor recolección de impuestos y divisas al venderle tierras consideradas poco deseables a precio elevado a los judíos. Una segunda migración de judíos rusos hacia Israel se dio entre 1903 y 1912. Cabe destacar que hubieron vario ataques arabes a poblaciones judias desde 1882, en especial las masacres de Jaffa en 1908, Hebron y Jafed 1929, etc..Esto antes de la creacion del Estado de Israel.

If that were true and this was typical unintended civilian casualties, your argument would be accurate. However, Israel has killed more civilians in 5 months than Russia has in 2 years and is orders of magnitude higher than what the US-NATO coalition civilian casualty count in Iraq. Furthermore let’s compare the precision of the US-led bin Laden operation compared to the lack of precision Israeli strikes on high value targets. I don’t recall in recent US-led conventional warfare in which incidents like March’s flour massacre and settler violence were completely overlooked. And the worst thing is that, as most US commanders learned - when not precise you create a massive counterinsurgency that is clearly a setback of your strategic objectives.
