minus-squarePipoca@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·11 months agoIs it possible to regain legitimacy after doing that, or will the state always be illegitimate?

minus-squarekaffiene@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoI absolutely think states can improve their legitimacy. Israel could work with Palestine in good faith toward a two state solution. There’s always a path forward. See south africa, northern Ireland, Germany in the cold war etc
