 Info slide for Motion 2
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is an organization labeled as
terrorists by Western countries that is much smaller than Hamas,
but much more organized. Founded in the late ’70s and early
’80s, the PIJ renounces negotiations with Israel, opting instead
for armed struggle. Its goal is to create an Islamic Palestinian
state that encompasses not only the occupied territories, but all
of what is now Israel. However, unlike Hamas, it’s not part of the
political leadership in Gaza or the West Bank and makes no effort
toward political activity within the occupied territories.
 Motion 2

As Hamas, this house would actively oppose the PIJ.

 Motion 3

THB that it is in the interest of Saudi Arabia to align

with China as opposed to the US.
