Indeed. But what is a country? Is it a place where people live and have their identity, or does it need to be "ratified" by the UN? Before 1945 were there no "countries"?
Does it legitimise the invasion of someone's land? I don't think so
> Before 1945 were there no "countries"?
There were. They had their own government, and were able to have relationships with other countries.
At what point in time Palestinians had their own government and country? I’ll remind you that during the mandate there was no Jordan as well.

Jews also owned land there during the mandate, the ottomans, and even before. Is it okay to take their land?
> Is it okay to take their land?
Of course not! It's not OK to take anyone's anything.
Edit: removing further comments. It would be ideal if everyone could just live in peace

Palestinians do not want to stick to those borders too. They want it all to themselves. I mean, you cannot expect Israeli government to sell the idea to their people that we are going to give it to the Palestinians and let's see what happens to us, right?

You mean the ones that Palestinians do not want to stick to?
