• While the creation of Israel involved conflict and displacement, it was recognized by the international community through the UN partition plan, providing it with legal legitimacy despite the complex history. Last updated: 1 day ago
• Whether it's legitimate or not is irrelevant, because it now exists, and that cannot be undone. In a similar way, it's arguable that Pakistan shouldn't exist, but that cannot be undone without the exile or genocide of an entire country. Last updated: 1 day ago
