What separates "debate" from "bickering"?

@ElvisL1ves

Not at all. Your confusion is quite obviously sincere.

If you don’t even know about the peace treaty with Egypt, much less about how it came about, then the ignorance is not mine.

@CitizenPained

I am well versed in Israel’s wars. You seemed to think of Begin as…some kind of moral hero or something. With all of your virulent rhetoric, I figured you were speaking negatively of him.

@ElvisL1ves

Then the responsibility for your confusion is entirely your own.

Now do please go study the history Israel-Egypt peace treaty before your confusion spreads further.

@CitizenPained

Again, I’m sorry you don’t understand Israeli political history enough to get the joke.

I think the quotes that you have in the OP are debate, but tom’s post came after this little back and forth, which seems a lot like bickering to me. YMMV.
