- Cthulhu_ 6y agoEven if it used force to establish said borders in the first place? Israel as the nation we know today only came about fairly recently, and it was only established as a modern-day state in 1948.
- dogma1138 6y agoAll borders were established by force... Israel is just more recent, about as recent as every other nation in that region. Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and essentially every other nation in the region was formed around the same period. The issue is that unlike other cases they were never left to their own devices and let sort their own shit out.
- eli_gottlieb 6y agoTell me, when was the unification of Germany, and how did its borders get the way they are now? I seem to recall some unpleasantness with American and British planes.
- ravenstine 6y agoThey took over someone else's land because of a cultural/religious belief that they need an ethnostate. I'm sure that they protect their citizens and their borders, and almost every country would say the same. That doesn't mean they didn't bring localized conflict upon themselves by disrespecting the rights of others.
