Israel is on the short end of the stick
The full resolution of the debate is "Israel has clearly violated human rights and is unjustified in its actions." Juvanya has been adamant in upholding zionist doctrines and beliefs on facebook, and, after several days, he has refused to change his beliefs. No one is really judging the debates, though.

Example: Water into wine by Jesus Christ. This will seem random because of your la...
