       Who has the right to possess the land of Israel and Palestine?
       Explain using the historical/cultural/political reasoning that
       reflect your country’s position and beliefs.
       We believe that a unified state would be the best way to solve
       this issue. Both have a right to the land and the conflict is
       generated around it. Simply allotting the land to just one side
       will result in more conflict. Further conflict between Israel
       and Palestine will inevitability drag other nations in, even
       nations that wish to distance themselves from this conflict will
       be dragged in via the alliances and agreements they have made.
       The outcome of this dispute will affect the entire middle east,
       not just simply Israel and Palestine.
       Should the international community recognize the statehood of
       Palestine? Justify your response.
       The entire international community should recognize Palestine as
       a state. There are already 112 countries that have done this.
       Acknowledging Palestine as a state will help relive the tension
       between them and Israel and avoid further bloodshed, which can
       easily throw the region into more turmoil
       What is your country’s position regarding Iran’s nuclear
       program? How should the program be addressed?
       We in Lebanon support Iran’s nuclear program. We believe that
       they’re intentions with nuclear power is not to make nuclear
       weapons but to use it as a power source or for research
       purposes. We feel that most of the conflict over this issue is a
       result of Israel’s paranoia but also in part of Iran’s refusal
       of UN inspectors to see they’re reactors. We believe that the
       best way to end the current dispute between Israel and Iran is
       to allow a neutral party to inspect the Iranian nuclear reactors
       and report on they’re status. Also by allowing someone to
       inspect the reactors, Iran can prevent the possibility of an
       Israeli attack via resolution 533 of 1990 in the general
       conference of the IAEA, which prohibits "all armed attacks
       against nuclear installations devoted to peaceful purposes
       whether under construction or in operation."

       I would like to know your opinion on why the Jews are entitled
       to any land in Palestine/Israel.
       I do not want to hear "they were there 2000 years ago so they
       deserve it now" because 6000 years ago the original people of
       Lebanon were Canaanites. Canaanites are believed to be the
       original Hebrews. THEREFORE by that logic, they would be
       entitled to your land as well. So please, I beseech you to give
       me a solid argument on why Israel deserves the land of Israel.

       I believe that both sides should have the land simply because I
       believe it will result in the least amount of conflict. Lebanon
       is just north of Israel, so any conflict that does occur
       eventually splashes onto my country. Simply giving the land to
       any 1 side will result in conflict not only between Israel and
       Palestine but also they're various allies and that is something
       Lebanon simply cannot afford in its current state.
       Also don't be deceived by the fact that we do not wish conflict,
       we will not allowed Israel to take this country over.

       That's called giving in to terrorism. Using fear of violence to
       attain something is textbook terrorism, and you're giving into
       it? If the US said they wanted Canadian land, and that they
       would start a war, do you just give it to them to 'avoid
       conflict?'

       We are not giving in to terrorism, we are trying to avoid
       unnecessary conflict. We are not afraid of conflict, however we
       will not waste valuable resources on senseless violence. Make no
       mistake, if anyone tries to seize any Lebanese land we will
       fight them to protect what is ours.

       I'm not Canada, but were I in they're position I would defend my
       land as it is a direct attack on my country and not a product of
       some else's conflict. This is assuming the US is short sighted
       and arrogant enough to threaten one of they're long time allies,
       in which I can safely say that they haven't fallen that far yet.
