CMV: Israel has the right to remain an independent nation.

There is a lot of debate happening regarding the Israel-Palestine issue these days, and the one argument that keeps popping up is that Israel shouldn't even be considered a nation.

I believe that this is a very hypocritical stance, since Israel won a war against many of its neighbouring countries and won, thereby making it an official nation according to international law. If you don't accept its existence, then you must say the same for Algeria, Norway, Nigeria, America, Bangladesh, and the numerous other countries that gained independence through wars.

Now, the fact that Israel has extended its borders well beyond what is legally allowed and treats Palestinians as 2nd class citizens is undeniable. I'm not condoning the Israeli regime, but strictly challenging the notion that the nation shouldn't exist to begin with.

There's a difference between being called an independent nation and being called the independent nation you claim to be. Both Taïwan and China claim to be the rightfull authority over both.

And there's undeniably problems regarding contested territories when it comes to Israel. Not regarding it as the nation it claim to be doesn't mean you shouldn't consider it as a nation altogether.
