And neither does any other country. If anyone disagrees with me please feel
free to produce a single recognition of any country in the world right to
exist. I do not want to hear about "as good as" or "tantamount to" or "the
same as" from anyone. I want the explicit use of the words right to
exist, nothing more and nothing less.
All of this crap started when Israel demanded something no other country in
the world has or has ever had, a recognition of its right to exist. So when
Israel's victims refused to be the first an only to make such a recognition
of Israel and one which Israel had no intention of reciprocating, obviously
they declined the honor.
What is commonly given and most all countries have is the recognition of the
right of a government to rule the land. In this regard the government of
Israel is recognized as having the right to rule within its borders and over
its citizens. The government of Israel has no recognized authority to rule
over Jerusalem or the West Bank or Gaza or the Syrian, aka Golan, heights.
Even if the Israeli government were simply demanding the recognition
commonly given to it, recognition is only given to governments by recognized
governments. Palestine has no recognized government and therefore cannot
recognize any other country.
On top of all of that Israel was demanding the Hamas political party make a
recognition which is something political parties have never done.
Most people know nothing of these things and are not expected to know about
them. However governments are expected to know these things. Nearly every
government in the world played along with this novel and unique demand of
Israel even though they knew it was total BS.
