    An occupation is not a state. If controlling an area and population with government would make something a state, the RSF in Sudan would be a state and Crimea would be transferred into Russia the moment it got occupied.

      “But what about the RSF?”

      That said, yes, the RSF is either a state already or really close to one.

      Crimea would be transferred into Russia the moment it got occupied.

      Crimea is disputed by two states and under effective control of one (Russia). “Congrats” for proving Russia is a state.

      Emphasis mine. I outright compared that crap with Nazi Germany, so stop lying / assuming / bullshitting that I would be against the cause of getting rid of it.

      That said if the expression “state of Israel” makes you so uncomfortable, you could use any other expression of your choice, as long as it leaves clear that you’re referring solely to the power structure and not the population.

      Unless you’d rather keep being the zionists’ little plaything in their language game, and actually help them to spread their idiotic and immoral “noooooo, people defending the Palestinians are Nazi” babble. Because that’s what you’re doing here.

        You are out here recognizing the RSF and ISIS as states to defend Israel and think anyone will take you seriously?

              You recognize Israel thus you defend Israel.

              A state is an instrument of oppression dammit. To recognise “X is a state” is NOT the same as defending X.

              So, again, stop being a liar. (Actually it’s worse, you’re being a dumb fuck.)

                Saying people need to recognize Israel to advance the Palestinia cause is defending Israel. Palestinians do not recognize Israel for a reason.

                  To pretend that the state is not there is simply not feasible. It’s wishful belief - this shit harms more than it helps.

                  And, again: if you really want to die in this weird hill there are other ways to refer to that power structure, as long as you make sure the zionists can’t distort your discourse from “it should be gone” into “they should be gone”.

                  Palestinians do not recognize Israel for a reason.

                  If this anyhow helped, we wouldn’t be discussing this. Nor there would be piles of civilian bodies in Gaza, murdered by the state of Israel.
