The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

undeniably a nation

A nation is defined by four characteristics:

  1. Population - A settled population
  2. Territory - A defined territory
  3. Government - A government
  4. Ability to relate to other states - The ability to conduct relations with other states on a sovereign basis

Israel does not have a defined territory. Their borders have never been officially established. Using guidelines used by the UN they are not a nation. Even four is debatable given how many countries they've attacked in the last 12 months alone.
