Who will win the debate between Destiny and Norman Finkelstein, in terms of rhetoric, in my judgement? [If ever]

Debate is on Israel/Palestine, Destiny leans Israel and Norman leans Palestine. Resolves to whoever I think wins in terms of 'vibes' with a random person who's neutral on the topic but interested.

I certainly don't mind you resolving this however you feel. That was the point of the market. Truthfully, though, this was not even close. You really need to look at your internalized biases that led you to decide the market the way you did.

Thanks! I wonder to which side you think it 'wasn't even close', though? In terms of my 'biases' I personally like Destiny more and think he's more correct, but I think winning on rhetoric with normal people is really hard in a very long debate like this when you're right on the facts for complicated reasons.

Part of the decision was me trying to find people on social media who seemed relatively neutral and see what they thought, and opinions seemed thoroughly mixed between picking one side, thinking 'wow, what an enlightening convo', and a lot of 'lmao both sides are insufferable and stupid'

I'm really conflicted here, I think on the normal-person-perspective finkelstein and rabbani did quite well, except for norm constantly insulting destiny and screaming and talking over people
