| 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 | |
| ( | |
| http://eufunding.org.uk/accountability/FatahCorruption.htm).<br | |
| />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.� | |
| ( | |
| http://www.canada.com/news/Iran+nuclear+program+agenda+Netanyahu+visits/6236607… | |
| />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. | |

| ''Your arguments in your first point are contradictory. You say | |

| no?'' | |
| 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. | |

| 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 | |
