re: #13 Buck

Of course people call into question Britain’s right to split former colonies up into nations. Britain had no right to those places in the first place. The US had no right to seize land from the American Indians, either. This doesn’t matter. What matters is the current, actual situation.

The Palestinians screwed themselves and Israel massively by refusing to take the two-state solution when it was first proposed. That matters, that they were the ones who walked away from a very fair deal. That doesn’t mean that legalistically referring to the British mandate makes any goddamn sense. Who gives a shit what the assholic colonial power thought was the right way to go about things?
