RE: All The News Anti-Palestinian Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss
SUBTOPIC: The political existence of the state is independent of recognition by the other states.
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
BLUF: This is a question we have discusssxed many time in the past. It is a question about forces at work in Human Dedvelopment that change cultures and the disposition of peoples. To recap something you should already know:
◈ Ranking on the UN Human Development Index for 2020: Israel:........19th on the Humand Development Index (Tied with Japan)
◈ Ranking on the UN Human Development Index for 2020: Lebanon:...92d on the Humand Development Index
◈ Ranking on the UN Human Development Index for 2020: Syria:.......151st on the Humand Development Index
◈ Ranking on the UN Human Development Index for 2020: Jordan:....102d on the Humand Development Index
◈ Ranking on the UN Human Development Index for 2020: Egypt:......116th on the Humand Development Index
◈ Ranking on the UN Human Development Index for 2020: Palestine: 115th on the Humand Development Index
What is important here is that there is no "state" in the Middle EastNorth African Region (MENA) or the Persian Gulf Countries that rates higher than Israel. Of the Arab League, MENA, and Persian Gulf States, the closest state in the HDI Ranking is the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at 31st position on TABLE 1 • Human Development Index and its components which includes:
◈ Longevity,
◈ Education
◈ The per capita Income
Just as a point of reference: Any staate that ranks higher than the 66th level is considered to be in the group rated: VERY HIGH in Human Development. I mention this because the cluster of Arab League Countries immediately adjacent to Israel are all below that level. And it is important to note that the States and the Palestinian Territories in dispute, ALL rank HIGH in Human Development.
◈ Saudi Arabia ranks 40th
◈ Bahrain ranks 42d
◈ Qatar ranks 45th
◈ Oman Ranks 60th
◈ Kuwait rank 64th
The significance here is that the Arab Palestinians are not in any great distress or being victimized by Israel. The Arab Palestinians are on par, in terms of Human Development with: Samoa, Venezuela, South Africa, Egypt, Marshall Islands, and Vietnam
(all ranked HIGH in Human Development).
So, when were all of the indigenous Palestinians removed and replaced by a different people?
(COMMENT)
I'm note sure there is an unasailable definition for the "Indigenous Palestinians." Since the time Alexander the Great the region called today Palestine, the territory has been ruled by the Greeks, Egyptians, Syrian Seleucids, The Jews, Romans, The Mamelukes, and The Ottomans. With cultural turnovers like that - spanning 2000 years (+), what does it mean to be an "Indigenous Palestinian?" Does the question even have any meaning. The Nabatean culture, also Semitic, disappeared entirely from the Middle East leaving virtually no anthorpological trail as to where they went; yet the culture covered the territories of Syria, Arabia, and Palestine.
So, I'm not sure even have an answer to go with your question. Just as I am having difficulty understanding the relevance of the question. If your trying to use the question to establish some sort of prior claim, then you are being foolish. The world does not work that way.
Most Respectfully,
