Israel (/ˈɪzriəl, ˈɪzreɪəl/; Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל; Arabic: إِسْرَائِيل), officially known as the State of Israel (Hebrew: מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל, Medinat Yisra'el), is a country in Western Asia.
The Israeli Declaration of Independence, formally the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel (Hebrew: הכרזה על הקמת מדינת ישראל), was proclaimed on 14 May 1948 (5 Iyar 5708)
And that "settler colony" BS is ridiculous in Israel's case.
"seeks to replace the native population of the colonized land with a new society of settlers". You want to talk about the amount of military aid to Israel? Let's talk. You want to talk about the interactions with the Palestinians? Let's talk, as long as we also talk about what the Palestinians are doing to Israel. But to claim the Jews are colonizers kicking out the native population when there have been Jewish settlements there going back to 1000 BC is ludicrous.
Claim: Israel isn't a country
FACT CHECK: FALSE
