CMV: Palestine is in fact the illegitimate state, not Israel

Full disclosure: I'm Israeli and a Zionist, born and raised in a kibbutz in the middle of Israel and is generally liberal in my views (tho I'd never vote to Meretz).

Palestine lost the war that they started. They could have accepted the partition plan that was majorly to their advantage (80% the land would have gone to the Palestinians, 20% to the soon to be Israelis), but nope! They decided that they want to be greedy, and claim all the land to themselves.

Mind you, the Jewish national fund purchase over 3 million acres until 1948 (according to Wikipedia). That's quite a lot of land considering that Israel is only 22,072 kilometers squared. 

Even without the amount of land the JNF bought, Palestine still lost the war. Multiple times! Since when do the losers not get any repercussions? And yeah, I know that history is told by the victors, but there are still plenty of Palestinians who tell their story, and it's very clear that they lost from what they tell.

I would love to hear your thoughts, just... Keep it civil, k?

If we're talking about moral legitimacy, losing a war should have nothing to do with it. Let's imagine that tomorrow, a coalition of states decided to attack Israel. It's happened before, as you know. Imagine this time, they won and Israel lost. Would the new state they set up have legitimacy and any straggling Jewish state and it's promoters lack legitimacy?

Does might make right?

You're correct that it has historically been so, but we can't always call that morally legitimate. And the world has attempted to move away from allowing that.
