re: #26 Obdicut

It’s fully legitimate just by being a democracy.

Well that might work for you, but the international community needs more.

Does that new rule apply to countries who are not democracies? Are they to be recognized as illegitimate? I mean that would work for me, but I suspect it would fall short of a reasoned argument.

There is a lot more evidence, documentation and history that is the claim of Israels Statehood.

There are legally accepted steps and standards. It is my opinion that ignoring that only helps the people who don’t want Israel to exist.

Someone comes to your house and says you don’t own it. They insist that they were there before you and that you stole the house.

You go and get your deed, and all the paper work that says you are the legitimate owner. It might seem like a neat shortcut to instead simply say “well I am here now, and tough luck on you”. However you should keep the paperwork…. you should know the truth and have the ability to back up your claim….just in case.
