      Don’t recognize it? There are 9 million people living in it, and worldwide recognition. Also the 48 decision was UN backed, meaning the nations of the world think otherwise. Jeez, you can not like someone while still admitting their existence.

          Firstly, where did I mention jews? Israel have non-jews in it. But it’s a valid point, Israel is a jewish point - a home for the jews after the Holocaust - which 100% needed to happen since they’re persecuted all over the world. Even if you have no problem with jews, muslim states and nazis do.

          Secondly, you shift all the blame of the situation on Israel, while they do have lots to blame for, so does the Palestinian leadership. They’re the ones teaching hate speech in schools, promoting violence against civilians, and not looking for a peaceful resolution benefitting their people.

          Thirdly, yes Israel likes being jewish and is working hard to keep being jewish, but that’s their whole shtick. Does anybody blame Jordan or Egypt for being muslim by law? I certainly don’t hear them as much as Israeli protestors. Which again further solidifies the need for a jewish state - there isn’t a safe place for jews in this world but that state. Wanting to take that away is just wrong.

          Also, I’d like you to keep in mind a simple point. How would arabs live under Israeli law (you can see examples in Israel right now - they have human rights) vs. how would jews live under Palestinian law (hint: they won’t). Yes, it’s wrong keeping gaza and the west bank under military power, but tbh what else can Israel do when suicide bombers arrive every day (and get praised heavily for it). The only solution is 2 states. Now after what Hamas did, I super doubt it is an option, and probably a total occupation of the land is eminent. Extremism brings extremism, and what Hamas did will make everything worse. That attack worsened the status quo, in the worst possible direction.

      There was no existing nation. Pre-47, it was British territory and before that, it was seized from the Ottoman Empire after WW1.

      Simplistic statements about historical claims to territory will never work here. Nor will “keeping score” about whose team is getting revenge for what previous massacre and who’s killed the most children (what a fucking thing to have to spell out. holy shit.).
