No, Israel is a settler colonial country, occupying a land called Palestine. Countries are legal, social, economic, buerocratic entities, they cannot be occupied, unless by a puppet regime. The PA is an occupied state, but there is no Palestinian state outside the WB and Gaza.

Arguing that there is a country called Palestine and that it's occupation is the great moral crime just again dehumanizes Palestinians, as if human suffering and the need for self determination are not enough for legitimacy and recognition.

    The last line claims that “israel” occupies the country of Palestine. I disagree with that line and I would replace the term country with land. The first line is “’Israel’ isn’t a country?” is likewise wrong. In this case, I would replace country with state. That’s all I have to say about your pedantry.

    Actually, no you kinda have a point. I can see how the meme is wrong even when I change it with my own terms and using Lenin’s definition of the state. Ehh whatever I guess
