@RaymondPierreL3@DropBear@Alpha1Nine I agree it's complicated. I know that my Dad was in the British Army serving in Palestine prior to WW2 and I think much of that area was part of the Ottoman Empire prior to WW1.
I still don't accept that disputed borders prevent recognition of Palestinian Statehood. If we recognise the country on one side of the border then we should recognise the country on the other side.
