Flopped how? Um. You ARE aware that Israel is actually a State, right? In every possible sense of the word.
Let's go back to this:
"Jewish National Homeland". The Jewish people acquired the right to re-constitute their national homeland in the territory of Mandate Palestine. They were one of the peoples in the Mandate territory and as such as a legal right to hold sovereignty. Indeed, they were the only peoples to acquire rights in that specific territory. Further, they realized that right, as required by the Mandate, by developing the ability to stand alone, create a government. And further, that right was recognized by the international community by acceptance into the UN and enter into diplomatic relations with other sovereign nations.
historical indigenous right + realization + recognition. Done deal. Get on with it.
