But the fact that 10 million Israelis currently live there says they should be considered exactly as much as 5 million West Bank Palestinians.
And what legitimacy do you have in immigrating to Canada? What legitimacy do any of 37 million settlers in Canada have?
I did not understand the 1st sentence.
Canada is a legitimate state and I used a legitimate state's immigration laws to immigrate here. Also if you read my previous statement to which you are responding - I made the comment that Israel established status TODAY does not negate the illegitimacy of its formation based on religious mumbo jumbo. None of that sort of rhetoric was used by Canadians when they settled here.
WTF? Do you think inventing your own version of reality makes it somehow true?
Israel's existence as a modern state is explicitly due to the UN. The fact that the Arab states refused to listen to the UN doesn't change that (just like Hamas refusing to agree to ceasefires and release their hostages). Pretty fucked up that you blame Israel because Arab countries attacked them to prevent their existence.
p.s. Israel is the ancestral homeland of Judaism with Judea and ancient Israel being extremely well documented. Also significant is except for a brief periods after the expulsion at the hands of the Romans, Jews have had a continual existence for more than 3000 years. As I said in my other post, that is irrelevant compared to the current existence of millions of Israelis.
Israel is the homeland of Judaism. Not the Europeans who happened to be Jews. That is some religious bullshit. Israel is also the homeland of Christianity. How about we invade Israel and I as a Catholic, will make Aliyah to the now Christian nation. We will call it...Christland. Makes sense, no?
And no, the UN passed a resolution
recommending the partition of Mandatory Palestine. The Israelis immediately declared independence and took the land for themselves. The UN does not have the authority to form nations, or draw borders. Nice try, trying to put a spin on history.
