You are engaged in delegitimization.
Delegitimization is the process of constructing a "categorization of groups into extreme social categories which are ultimately excluded from society". Delegitimization provides "the moral and the discursive basis to harm the delegitimized group, even in the most inhumane ways".
Daniel Bar-Tal identified five rhetorical strategies by which delegitimization occurs: dehumanization (e.g. "civilized savages"), trait characterization ("idiots", "parasites"), outcasting ("murderers", "terrorists"), use of political labels ("Nazis", "imperialists"), and delegitimization by group comparison (e.g. with the Huns). Volpato et al. found eight delegitimizing strategies, including trait characterization, political labels, group comparison, segregation, outcasting and using a delegitimized group to stigmatize another group. For example, images of derogated target groups were published in the Italian Fascist magazine La Difesa della Razza in the 1930s.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Isreal never existed before 1948, and doesn't have a legitmate reason to exist as a sovereign entity.

Well, what about countries created after 1948, like Kosovo, South Sudan and, oh, ALL the former African colonies? Are they illegitimate as well?

@butterflybaby75 Your understanding of the Middle East post World War 1 is absolute zero. I wasn’t aware anyone could know so little and offer an opinion. 👏

@Fukfacewillie I'm pretty sure she's a troll.
