    That’s like saying if the US collapsed that the existence of former states of Washington, Oregon and half of a state called California proves that there is now a country called “Washoregfornia” even though nobody ever called themselves Washoregfornians when the US existed and nobody governed themselves according to those borders. You’re inverting your logic.

      Not at all, Palestine existed and had the same borders prior to ottoman rule, during ottoman rule, and during mandatory Palestine. Your example state never existed and even if it did it would have been a territory.

          Burden of proof lays with the accuser, you say I’m wrong prove it to be so.

            I’m not accusing of anything. You’re claiming that borders exist that never existed. Put up or shut up.

                It’s the literal pre mandatory Palestine border.

                Please show me that map. Otherwise I have things to do and am not going to continue this conversation.

                  Which one pimpin?

                  Similarly you claim in writing, I’m wrong in fact you inserted yourself specifically to tell me I’m wrong. If you’re not willing to support your stance why exactly should I entertain bad faith argument?
