The modern state as a concept was not established until - at the very earliest - the treaty of the Peace of Westphalia - 1648 - to consider it before then displays a profound lack of the very basics of international realism, or the historical record - to lay claim to the modern state of Israel through biblical lineage is the most disingenuous thing I have seen any one attempt to claim.
Palestine was a protectorate of the united kingdom, THE BRITISH MANDATE OF PALESTINE - it was a country and recognized - for this not to have been the case would mean every person earth was stark raving mad EXCEPT YOU - which is clearly NOT the case - hence I think we can all assume who has no idea what so ever or - has a very clear agenda in which case should be removed from posting on this site as it is PURELY TROLLING and nothing else.
Sorry, you neither quoted nor have I seen here any claim of right through biblical lineage.
If it was mentioned, I'm assuming it was the type of historical note as in reference to ancient Egypt, Persia, Assyria etc.
I'm not sure if your quantifying in this case of the British Mandate as an autonomous country is universally accepted. Maybe.
I might add for someone with a PHD in negotiations - calling upon your credentials, name calling, accusations, and threats are not exactly high diplomacy.
On this site, half the contributors are a self-declared expert.
I find the ones who don't claim to know everything are the best sources of information.
