Logical Fallacies

The West Bank is an area on the Jordan River as described by Arian. The position of it has been the topic of concession concerning the Palestinians and Israelis. Israel disputes that its existence is vindicated because Israel’s eastern edge is not definite and according to the Camp David Accords in 1978, the decisive standing of it would be set only when there is a stable concord between the opposing states (Arian).

Palestinian public opinion, on the other hand, is roughly undisputed in disparate Israeli settler existence on it as a breach of their right to autonomy. They claim it should be a portion of their realm and that the existence of Israeli armed hegemony is a contravention of their entitlement to independence. Furthermore, as stated by Arian, they must have the area to minimize Palestinian violence  by equipped intercession and relocation of the East Jerusalem Palestinian inhabitants.

As a response to this issue, since there are a number of logical fallacies in it, the Israelis must either pull back or not. In view of the facts that the boundaries of both parties are not yet defined, they must first take action to set their frontiers as soon as possible to stop the dispute.

Major logical fallacies that can be observed in the article which contributed to my conclusion are the following. The misuse of “not” can be observed in the part of the paragraph that “the Israelis must either pull back or not”. Abuse of “and” can also be viewed in the statement “Palestinian terrorism by armed intervention and transfer of the East Jerusalem Palestinian population”.

Generalization can be seen in “transfer of the East Jerusalem Palestinian population”. Causal misleading notion like “Palestinian public opinion, on the other hand, is roughly undisputed in disparate Israeli settler existence on it as a breach of their right to autonomy. They claim it should be a portion of their realm and that the existence of Israeli armed hegemony is a contravention of their entitlement to independence” can lastly be perceived because one thing leads to another idea (Downes).
