Palestine is recognized by about 130 countries, Israel by about 90.
You're severely uneducated. No wonder you have no reputational points.
Israel is the only state in the world recognized by both the former League of Nations and the UN.
Fakestinians are not members of the UN nor by the League of Nations
Palestine was a European invention [Romans] not recognized by the Arabs.
Historian Bernard Lewis...
For Arabs, the term Palestine was unacceptable. For Muslims it was alien and irrelevant. The main objection for them was that it seemed to assert a separate entity which politically conscious Arabs in Palestine and elsewhere denied. For them there was no such thing as a country called Palestine. The region which the British called Palestine was merely a separated part of a larger whole [Syria]. For a long time organized and articulate Arab political opinion was virtually unanimous on this point.
