Good thing that it doesn't. Palestine became a country with thanks to Israel and Oslo Accords for the first time in history.
I dont believe in made up books saying "this is your promised land"
I also dont believe in madeup books saying ",kill jews"
Just stop landgrabbing and/or killing each other jeez.
Defending Israel is such an NPC mentality, theres no good guys in that war they both commit atrocities.
Just FYI, most of evictions Israel is doing are against jewish settlers, not arabs.
Both sides think the land belongs to them as both sides inhabited the same land for hundreds* of years. Which side is doing the grabbing then turns into a judgement call.
* - Going by Wikipedia, Muslims Arabs since ~600CE and some form of Israelis since ~1200BCE.
The Israelites go back to the Bronze Age. They are from a couple of Semitic cities in the Canaanite levant. The same group that spawned phonecians and a bunch of other Mediterranean peoples who colonized much of northern africa and Southern Europe in addition to Anatolia
Specially when essentially all of these Palestinians that lived in China had no intention or interest in ever going back to Palestine.
And then one day a dude shows up, and says, "Hey one could argue based on some not very historical evidence that X place is our homeland, so lets just go there and steal that land".
Just as if a bunch of British people had colonized East Africa with the idea of reconquering their homeland.
The reality is that before the EXPLICITLY colonialist movement of Zionism, there was a small Jewish community there. A small amount of people compared to the overwhelmingly Muslim population.
The waste majority of current population has immigrated from Europe and the Soviet Union.
And of course because the Zionists know that they enacted a law that states that basically everybody who is even vaguely Jewish is free to live there and a lot of them are then settled in the West Bank.
At the same time the countless Muslims who actually lived there, in 1948 and their kids have no rights to return at all.
So according to the current Israeli law, a person who has hasn't grown up Jewish but has Jewish grand parent has a right to live their, but the children of the people displaced in 1948 don't.

If its a country, then its boarders are being moved step by step every year.
So it not really a country in any sense other then by a few people who want to claim Israel is not an apartheid state.
