No, most of the states of the world has recognized the State of Israel, but not all. See this comment from @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml.
Even in that comment chain, it references that Jordan signed a peace treaty with them. So at one point they did, in fact, recognize it as a country.
They have a seat at the UN. They have passports recognized by every developed nation. They have treaties and engage in international trade with other nations. They fit every definition of a country. They are, in fact, a country.
Once again, just because you don't like them and think they shouldn't exist, doesn't change their status as a country. I personally don't like North Korea, but I don't go around claiming it's not a real country, because that would be a fucking stupid claim to make.
Koreans didn't genocide a native population and engage in settler colonialism to steal Korea after international law was established.
Yea, Israel is pretty shitty and terrible. Still a country.
Again, No. Algerian, by example, don't recognize the State of Israel, and it's not the only that not recognize it. I expect that they don't accept their passports (but I can't confirm it).
Jordan historically has had a strange relation with Palestine and the PLO. A pro-Palestine population with their elites and monarchy fearing them. Then, I will be not surprised if they changed their mind with the recognition, that was done just after the Oslo accords.
But my comment was to explain that I disagree with your claim that’s just fucking stupid to use quotes for 'Israel' and that the generalization you used to justify your position was not accurate.
