Countries in general are a social construct that’s only real because people agree they are

That’s fine. If the UN and the other nations agree with that then it won’t be.

I hate to say this but very few countries were founded by respecting local sovereignty. The English are called “Anglo-Saxons” because those tribes defeated enough natives to claim their land. France is called that because the Franks did the same. America, Japan, India, and China did it to their natives too. Before the Spanish colonized Mexico the Aztecs did it WITHOUT native’s input. So if we’re basing what nations are real off of consulting the native population no country exists.

*Mind you that’s not me saying it’s a GOOD thing. It sucks, especially seeing it happen in real time. I want the Palestinian people who have a country whose borders and sovereignty are respected. But wanting that sadly doesn’t stop Israel from being a “real” country.
