Please detail the process and date of the creation of the "nation of Palestine" and the designation of "Palestinians" as a recognized nationality in connection with such a sovereign state.
There doesn't have to be a State in order for the right to self-determination for a peoples to be recognized and upheld.
So I can get my personal group of Bohemians together - we share a culture and history together - and insist they be declared a people, and recognized by the nations?
That would be MOST interesting.
Did you get the point of "Cherokee"?
That being, your definition of "nation" or "a people" is not the only one there is.
Wait, I'm not sure I get it. Are you trying to argue that Cherokee is NOT a nation or a people?
Not at all, quite the contrary. I'm suggesting that (for example) the Cherokee would not fit some of the 'standards' laid down in this thread to qualify a "nation". What, for example, is the "capital" of Cherokee? I'm saying the poster, and posters in general, cannot append their own definition of "nation" to other nations which may not share that definition. The world as we see it is not the only world there is.
Ah. In that case, I believe we agree. People forget that "peoples" and "self-determination" are not either/or terms. Many First Nations tribes in the Americas have some sort of self-determination, as do other groups. Its not a zero sum.
