Arguments for Israel
-Israel is the "Promised Land" of the Old Testament, it belongs to the Jews and is their "divine right."
-Jews had settled in Israel thousands of years ago, much longer before any Palestinian had ever lived there.
-Many Jews never really left Israel by free will; they were forced out by the Romans in the Diaspora and deserve the right to return
-Jews have been through enough torment and prosecution, including the Holocaust. They deserve an identity and a safe homeland to live in
-The Palestinians are simply anti-semetic and discriminate against Jews; that is the only reason that they don't want Jews living there

Arguments for Palestine
-Palestinians have been living in Israel for a much longer time than Jews have lived there
-Jews were not the original peoples to live in Israel; they forced Canaanites out that had previously been living there, therefore it is not truly their land
-Palestinians have already established permanent settlements in Israel; they should not have Jews buying out their land that they have lived in for centuries
-Jews threaten the establishment of a peaceful Palestinian state and compromise their safety, therefore they should not live near them
-The IDF is brutal towards Palestinians and the Israeli government and police is corrupt; they should not live here if they are so brutal
