> 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.

> Does it legitimise the invasion of someone's land? I don't think so

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

  • > And that is the basis of all this fighting, why doesn't Israel stick to the initial borders they agreed to?

    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?

    • I had removed the comment, but you replied in the meantime. I didn't want to add further fuel to this.

      But since you only picked up on that: what the Israeli government is doing to Palestinians, is exactly what you are describing, but from the other side. It's not hypothetical. It's happening. When will they stop?
