    Gish galloping? What in there was a lie? Words have meaning sir. We live in a society.

    And if you want to bring in the British then fine, they did that without consulting anyone, it was not the preferred solution by anyone except extremists and it resulted in wars and ethnic cleansing. Oh hey look it’s just like Palestine! There’s a pattern here…

    And clearly the people Israel is currently genociding do not care what the Un said about Israel 70 years ago. They aren’t going to see an apartheid state oppressing them as legitimate. Nor should they. After all Germany was a country too and I’m pretty sure the German Jews didn’t consider Hitler taking power in a river of blood as legitimate either. Legitimacy is something you can lose, especially if it was tenuous in the first place. Like say, if someone was to keep fighting you for 70 years over it.
