This House Believes Israel is a Rogue State | The Cambridge Union
RESULT: Ayes 51%, Noes 19%, Abstentions 30%. Representing a 7% swing to the proposition from the pre-debate vote to the post-debate vote.
The Israel/Palestine crisis has existed since Israel’s formation; with neither side gaining the upper hand despite decades of suffering. In this debate we turned to Israel, and asked whether it was time we declared them a rogue state.
