"what would become" and that changes my statement that Palestine has never existed how?
- toast0 5y agoMandatory Palestine certainly existed. Although you may argue it wasn't a country, because it was under the administration of the British. The current State of Palestine exists, and is recognized in many forums, although not by all participants; but it doesn't have de facto sovereignty as it's essentially occupied.
- wahern 5y agoThe point is that the U.S. is fully capable of having a political relationship with entities it doesn't recognize as a sovereign state. Take Taiwan as another example. Both the context and details are completely different from that of the PNA, but it nonetheless contradicts your premise in the same manner.
- wernercd 5y agoTaiwan is a nation with a functioning government and actual borders it controls. Unlike Palestine.
