I do not have the answer. But it is all stupid. If every people were entitled to land they “owned” thousands of years ago, the world would be a damn mess.

Americans amuse me. Many claim that the Israelis have every right to the land they possessed for thousand of years (although they were not the rulers for many of those years). They have a right it historically.

Yet their American ancestors subjected the Native Americans to this exact same scenario and if the Natives wanted to “do a Israel” and reclaim all their land (as the rulers of it) all these Americans that support Israel will not support the Natives. Serious double standards.

I say let bygones be bygones.

I have friends on both sides of this fence (Palestinian and Israeli) and I am glad they see the stupidity of a bunch of religious nutcases that wanted to “prove the bible is true” by fulfilling this “prophecy” that the Jews will return to their homeland by the power of GOD. The bible also clearly stated that this land will always be disputed. Cue the leaders to deliberately again fulfill this “prophecy”.

Video description proves my point ...  

"Taiwanese officials are NOT declaring Independence" therefore they maybe a country but an independent one is still of question ... 

If Taiwan really wanted to prove that it is an independent country then show it to the world and especially the PRC ...

They don't need they already have their own government, laws, national army, a national flag and a national anthem.

The only thing they don't have is their own declaration of independence like the US ...

Taiwan knows it'll never be independent at this rate ... 

If you definition of being independent is make people notice the elephant in the room. Yes. My definition of independence is no chinese force can enter Taiwan soil without being received under bullets.

Jerusalem is the where the Israel govenment works. But yes anybody can live in denial if it means avoid war.

The key point is that Taiwan doesn't fully recognize it's own independence, full stop so that is all that matters ...  

Can a nation really proclaim itself to be an independent country if they themselves don't recognize so ?

I think this is getting off-topic, maybe open a new thread ... 

Yes. China don't have a single say in Taiwan affairs. Different from Catalonia which is under Spanish control. 

At the same time Taiwan does not consider itself to be independent ... 

When you are independent. You don't need to. The

They absolutely must otherwise the aggressors won't stop their conquest much like how Britain had to recognize the US as an independent nation ...
