| 'That raises the question of do countries exist by a defacto recognition by a majority of other countries recognising them rather than on a strict de jure basi' "Ah, a moot point Mr Rumpole". But getting back to the real world - 'As of June 2024, the State of Israel is recognized as a sovereign state by 164 of the 192 member states of the United Nations. The State of Israel was formally established by the Israeli Declaration of Independence on 14 May 1948, and was admitted to the United Nations (UN) as a full member state on 11 May 1949'. Of course some do not. In the main an illuminating if not illustrious group of democracies - '28 UN member states do not recognize Israel: 15 members of the Arab League (Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen); ten non-Arab members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Niger, and Pakistan); and Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela'. Please, please Messrs Carter, Ainsworth, Ixer, Brigo and Ms Carter and Bond tell me why there is there this continuous questioning of Israel's 'right to exist' by left wing media and student protest groups whilst no one probes those states that challenge it. Let's be blunt. Might it be antisemitism or just envy. Let's face it these other despotic states are, unlike Israel, doing a very poor job in advancing the wellbeing of their people, for they are ruled by those who could not run a whelk stall. |
