82. If there is no "land called Palestine"

Tue Jul 22, 2025, 02:26 PM

Jul 22

then it stands to reason that there are no Palestinians. No?

There was, however the "Palestinian Territory" that was occupied by both Jews and Arabs.
C'mon now - you know the history.

I believe the "Palestine" that people refer to now-a-days is Gaza and the West Bank - areas that are proposed
to be the Palestinian State. I do think the UN recognizes it as such. What else would you call it.

Maybe I misunderstood your post.

As of March 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members. It has been a non-member observer state of the United Nations General Assembly since November 2012.
