Israel doesn’t have a right to exist. Neither does Palestine. Neither does my country.
Countries don’t have a right to exist. They never did. We just respected each other for relative peace.
People, however, do have a right to exist.
So bombs will determine borders. Guess who has more firepower?
Bombs don’t capture territory. I don’t know how many times people need to learn this.
Do states having a right to exist means people can’t democratically choose to merge their country with another?
Like crimea “voted” to be part of russia? There are better ways than merging i.e. making one cease to exist because those votes can never be unanimous. See EU. You just contract to use the same rule set, currency etc and are factually merged.
I did say “democratically choose”, not merely “vote”. Russia does “votes” but isn’t really democratic.
While committing to the practical it is always important to hold in mind the theoretical. Forget either and we become lost.
Very poignant! 👌
