`Is Palisten a country?
Its has its own flag`

hardly

they use the standard arab flag

`1. is able to enforce their own laws within their borders` - If they could, there would be no West Bank settlements, unless you dispute that being their territory.

`2. have a standing army` - They don't have one. Gaza has a few armed foces. West Bank has another one. They're not one army.

`3 . print their own currency` - Jordanian Dinar isn't their own currency, neither is the Israeli shekel

`4. have international relations with other nations` - With how many? They certainly don't have relations with Israel.

@Similar Scowl

They have international relations with many countries. They are involved in many supranational organizations and many countries recognize them. They DO have a standing army and security services. Their effectiveness is disputable, but that can be said of many nations. They do technically have a flag. A currency isn’t necessarily a requirement for being a state

`They have international relations with many countries.` - I'm happy for them. `They are involved in many supranational organizations and many countries recognize them.`- Not enough do. `They DO have a standing army and security services.` - What is their 'standing army' called? `Their effectiveness is disputable, but that can be said of many nations.` - Which nation has no control over its armed forces? `They do technically have a flag.` - Yeah, it's the Flag of the Arab Federation. `A currency isn’t necessarily a requirement for being a state`- Other guy said it was, but ok.

>70% of nations recognize Palestine

NOT ENOUGH

Btw look up Palestinian Security Services smh not that hard

>a majority of all countries recognize Palestine
>Asuka never said they didn't have control over the armed forces
>if sovereign currency was a qualifier for a country, then several countries in multiple continents wouldn't be considered countries, including: El Salvador, Ecuador, Zimbabwe, a majority of the EU, etc.

Not enough to vote them fully in. And the Palestinian Security Forces aren't their army. They have no army. Who's in charge of the PSF? I know the answer, but I wanna play this out.

The general assembly recognizes them due to the Partition Plan, the US just doesn’t recognize them because (((reasons))) and their allies follow smh

just say it's the jews

And if you know I’m not gonna waste my time. It’s on the Wikipedia page

I don't care

"palestine" isn't a full member state

you can blame the jews for it

doesn't change reality

Abbas is in charge of the PSF

and Abbas can't do shit in Gaza

they're an inflated police force

quick question - what would you guys support, Palestine or restored Kingdom of Jerusalem?

which army would defend "Palestine" from an invasion?

neither

Israel

UN membership doesn’t determine if a country is recognizable

there is one army responsible for defending the gazan and the west bank borders

what's that army called?

habibi

it's the IDF

palestine's status as a soveirgn state is only recognized by individual countries

PSF would defend Palestine, I just said it’s effectiveness is disputable. But the fact it exists means it can defend and enforce sovereignty

no, it wouldn't

if an invasion happened

Abbas would hop on the phone

and call up Bibi
