Change My Mind

Allow me to repeat myself

Yes thats the region of palestine not country. Occupied by the britsh then part of it given to jews after ww2 by the U.N. multiple attacks by arabs ended with Israeli victory and land expansion

Saying Palestine doesn't exist doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The people living there, the Palestinians, say it's a country with definable borders, who is the UN to decide what a country is or is not. What is happening there is genocide, sure it has taken a few generations but it's still genocide. Even the UN recognizes Israeli human rights violations.

I didnt say palestine doesn't exist, im saying it was never a country. Palestine is a name of a region. It is not genocide its war and the arabs in palestine and arabs in surrounding countries like Egypt and Syria attacked Israel and lost in the 6 day war. Arabs always play the victims when they are typically the aggressors. Palestinians fire rockets at Israel and when they get their ass kicked play the victim.

You should go to Palestine and see what's going on there for yourself... until then you just know what the media feeds you.

I have come to this conclusion by research and using common sense. Whats wrong with what i said?

To mock them

The UN has officially recognized it as a nation for some time now.

Palestine is not a country. It is recognized as a sovereign state by 136 UN members. The Declaration of Independence and the Proclamation of the State of Palestine took place on November 15, 1988 in Algiers, Algeria. Since then, the objective of the Palestine Liberation Organization has been to attain recognition of the Palestinian state from the international community. Throughout history Palestine has been a name of a region

I don't know what Orwellian twist of language you're trying to pull, but you literally just said "it's not a country, it's just recognized as a country by most of the world" whether you realize that's what you said or not.

My main point is that palestine has always been a name of the region regardless of some U.N members recognizing palestine as a state in recent history. Its still not officially recognized as a sovereign country by everyone

Who cares? The UN recognizes it as a non-member observer state. That's as official as countryhood gets. What good is splitting hairs on nomenclature even supposed to accomplish anyway?

You are mixing up state and region of palestine. The region of palestine is all of Israel and west bank. The state of palestine as recognized by some U.N members recently, would be the west bank which is not a sovereign country. My point all along was that palestine throughout history was the name of the region, when rome destroyed the jewish rebellion around 70 AD and called it palestine
