palestaine, but thats a made up country.


Palestine has the same legitimation as Israel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_for_Palestine


Not really.  I mean, Palestine rejected that.  It's like having two brothers fight over their fathers possessions, one of them agreeing to a legal deal, the other disagreeing, using other methods to get what he wants, but fails, ends up with less then he would of gotten then uses the past deal as a basis on what they should get.  (Despite having rejected it).

I don't agree that there is no legitamcy to a palestinian state, but there is less so then there is an Israeli state.  If there was a one or the other situation (which there isn't and it should never get to that) you'd have to go with Israel.

The "made up" country part though I think is probably a reference to the fact that there never was really a historic palestine.  The area pretty much always being a part of some other distant empire, except when being ruled by the jews.
