CLAIM: Prior to 1948 there were many Muslim countries but no Jewish ones. Jews deserve to have a country of their own.
RATING:
Mixed
It is true that before 1948 there were already many Muslim countries but no Jewish ones.
However, there is no international law dictating that each religious or ethnic group must be allocated its own independent state. Were this the case, new states would need to be carved out from old ones to make space for the Rastafarians, the Zoroastrians, and perhaps even the 30 million or so self-professed Pastafarians who worship the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster.
By this logic, even Israel would have to be broken down into smaller states for the Druze (~140,000), Samaritans (~1,000), and Christians (~185,000).
None of this means that Israel should not exist, only that this is a rather weak argument for creating a new state.
One reply on “Israel-Palestine Mega Fact Check!”
Keep trying to invent history. The palis didn’t exist until the mid 1960s.
One other fun fact – every group, every political organization, and every government that has ever tried to destroy the Jews has been destroyed. Fun fact #2 Israel has never been stronger.
