Indeed, "innocent civilians" do not live on stolen land.You really need to read your own post.They were innocent civillians and they were massacred by the IDF as part of a deliberate policy of ethnic cleansing.
So, you are putting forth the argument that the events in Lydda in 1948 happened outside the context of war and that there was no military value to the town and that not a single military action was taken by any of the residents of the town.
Really? That's what you are going with?
You need to start formulating actual arguments to present in the debate. Start with these: Were any of the residents of Lydda combatants as opposed to "innocent civilians"? Was there a military value to holding the village? Did this event happen within the context of war?
Team Palestine, as a whole, really has trouble understanding what "innocent civilian" means.
