    Cool. We’re not talking about a country or a nation-state, we are talking about a location.

    A location that has been called Palestine continuously for thousands of years. It is a location that has multiple names which are still used today including the Levant, Judea, Israel and Palestine.

    So, again, why would the name of that location change no matter who lived there?

    So far, the answer seems to be “because that’s what Netanyahu wants” and, again, why do you care what he wants?

    I’ll give you one last chance to answer both of those questions since I’ve asked both of them more than once, the first one multiple times, and then I’ll give up. I think you realize you’re just doing Netanyahu’s PR work for him and you’ve dug yourself into a hole.

      You’re being dismissive and accusational. I’m not defending the lack of recognized Palestinian borders. Just the opposite. For a platform full of pro-Palestinian people, I’m very disappointed in the ignorance I’m encountering. Their lack of recognized borders is a massive factor in this conflict, and I’m surprised it’s not only virtually unknown, but is considered scandalous to even point out. No matter how many nations recognize Palestine as a nation, they won’t have their own borders until they are recognized as a country.
