        It’s was a war. Israel won.

        Every single country that exists today took over the area of another group or people, or split off from a country that did the same.

        What year did we decide that no further changes to borders would be allowed?

          1945-6 probably.

            This is why the Russian belligerent attack on Ukraine started with a lot of staged “we want to secede and join Russia” votes. The UN hates a war but can be fooled into supporting the will “of a people” to secede.

            And then that didn’t work. And so Russia needed to activate plan-b as planned.
