       Canada-First Mandatory Post

       1. 1. Who has the right to possess the land of Israel and
       Palestine? Explain using historical/cultural/political reasoning
       that reflect your country's position and beliefs.
       Devin – Canada believes Israel has the right to the land;
       firstly Israel was promised to the Jews twice in 1917 due to the
       ''the Balfour Declaration '', and 1922 because of the
       ''Churchhill White Paper but receive it until 1948, this was
       decided by 33 countries including Canada which collectively
       agreed upon the creation of the Jewish state of Israel; secondly
       history shows that no Islamic empires had owned the land before
       the Israeli's, it was originally owned by the Canaanites who
       were conquered by the Israeli's. After the Israeli’s had been
       pushed out of the land the Arab herders moved in and
       unsuccessfully claimed the land as their own, these herders have
       become today's Palestinians, lastly there is also no official
       legal document proving that the Palestinians had ever owned the
       land while the Israeli’s do have have documents proving they
       legally own the land.
       2.  Should the international community recognize the statehood
       of Palestine? Justify your response
       Duncan - Palestine has no official government just two factions
       Fatah and Hamas, and neither of these two factions would be able
       to adequately rule the land.
       Hamas would not be able to rule the land because it is a
       terrorist organization, and if a terrorist organization was put
       in power of a country it would not be able to economically
       sustain the country because important super powers such as
       Canada, the U.S.A and other countries under the U.N would not
       want to interact with them due to many of them having a strict
       policy on never negotiating with terrorists. If Palestine could
       not form crucial trading relationships with these countries it
       would be very difficult for them to survive due to not having
       enough trade business.
       Fatah would not be able to run the state due to extreme
       corruption involving Fatah authority. In 2006 it was discovered
       that $700 million or more, in public funds was stolen by
       Palestine authority. Most of these cases too involved Fatah
       officials
       (

       />How can this government be expected to rule a country if they
       are this corrupt. That would just be trusting them with more
       money which they would abuse.
       Thirdly Fatah and Hamas would be unable to run a country
       together in a unified government. This is unlikely due to all
       the hatred they have had for each other in the past. Fatah and
       Hamas have fought in the streets several times for factional
       control over the Gaza strip. Many Palestinians have died due to
       this fighting and it is unrealistic to believe that the two
       factions could just put all this violent history behind them and
       work together.

       3. What is your country's position regarding Iran's nuclear
       program? How should the program be addressed?
       Duncan, Devin - Canada seems to be nervous regarding our view of
       Iran’s nuclear program; this is shown when our Prime Minister
       was reported saying “We are facing a regime that not only wants
       to attain nuclear weapons but a regime that has, compared to
       virtually all other holders of nuclear weapons in the past, far
       less fear of using them.”
       (
  HTML http://www.canada.com/news/Iran+nuclear+program+agenda+Netanyahu+visits/6236607/story.html)<br
       />Canada obviously is not a supporter of Iran’s nuclear program.
       We are dead set against nuclear weapons as well and don’t
       possess any ourselves. We have backed the UN in taking
       precautions to prevent the development of Iran’s nuclear
       program. Some of these precautions include since the year 2006
       the Security Council of the UN has had four rounds of sanctions
       against Iran regarding their Nuclear program. The United Nations
       Security Council resolutions have developed certain restrictions
       which include banning the export of specific items to Iran which
       could assist in “Iran's uranium enrichment-related, reprocessing
       or heavy water-related activities”, the assets of people who are
       involved in Iran’s “Iran's uranium enrichment-related,
       reprocessing or heavy water-related activities” being frozen,
       and a ban of importing anything from Iran which are related to
       proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or to the development
       of nuclear weapon delivery systems.

       Your arguments in your first point are contradictory. You say
       the Israelis conquered the land so they deserve it since they
       were kicked out. They kicked people out to get in. Hypocritical,
       no?
       1800+ years of history will show you that the Palestinians owned
       the land. Through natural courses of events the Arabs were about
       to take control of the land and through an UNnatural course of
       events the land was given back to Israelis. You claim there is
       no evidence that there is no document proving that an Islamic
       empires ever owned the land of Israel BEFORE the Israelis. No
       one was claiming they did, if it was a matter of 'who was there
       first' then Natives Americans have soul entitlement to Canada
       and the US. The fact is the Israelis have 0 rights to the land.

       LOL seriously? the Caaninites weren't kicked out they were
       conquered, I've never met a Caaninite before have you?
       History has shows us, the land that is now Israel belonged to
       the Jews way before any Islamic empire. The Canaanites weren't
       early Muslim Palestinians find me evidence they were, also as
       Islam was not created during that time, if you did some research
       you would know Islam is the youngest of the three major
       Monotheistic religions and was created long after Judaism. The
       weak Native American argument everyone keeps using is useless,
       the Palestinians were not their first, there is absolutely no
       evidence to back that up.

       I was referring to them kicking out Palestine not kicking out
       Caaninites.
       You're taking what I said and twisting it, none of what you said
       applies to what I previously stated, read it again till you
       understand.
       Take into account what I said, and rebuttal, don't spew the same
       garbage that was in your first paragraph, thank you.
       FURTHERMORE the arguement is used as if the Native americans are
       Israelis and America are palestinians
       Drawing this parrallel shows that if the Israelis are THE
       NATIVES and get the land, then why dont NATIVES who represent
       the ISRAELIs get their land?
       That was to help you understand the arguement. Not that
       palestinians were there first, you don't seem to understand,
       just trying to clarify.

       Islam being the youngest of the three monotheistic religions has
       nothing to do with anything. Don't tell me to do research when I
       never stated anything relivent to that out of context,
       completely irrelivant argument you are trying oh so hard to
       illustrate.

       Hamas, I'm kind of confused about your argument, can you please

       I was gonna respond earlier but honestly I don't understand what
       you're trying to say,
       - your points are all over the place,
       - the way you worded stuff is strange,
       - You keep changing your views,
       - You don't explain yourself,
       it's super confusing I showed a couple other people and they
       don't understand what your saying either...
       good job, you somehow managed to make Hamas look worse than it
       already is ;)

       Read it till you understand
       Fairly straight forward, just simpley pointing out the flaws of
       your arguements, nothing else.

       False.
       Nothing is all over the place, it is all directed at your
       arguements
       They are worded fine.
       Nothing i say needs any further explaination
       Not one of my views has changed
