    israel is not a country it’s an American military base. If the only people who recognize a colony as a “country” are other countries that are halfway across the globe it’s not a country.

      That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve read today. The majority of countries on earth are former colonies whose borders were drawn up by Europeans thousands of kilometers away. Not only that, Israel is a self governing geopolitical entity that has formal relations with the majority of countries in the world and can defend itself fairly well.

      The US is a country despite the fact that the colonisation of North America was a net wrong.
