Argh, you're going to get burned for that if some people see this. It has as much right to be a state as any other, and if you look at the forming of the UK you can't really claim that it was any better, most states have been formed through injustices. Much of the United States was formed through the bloodshed of native Americans. Northern Ireland had mass immigration of protestant northerners (Scotland and England). Much of the world has this same pattern.
Israel is occupying terrority, encourages settlements, has one of the worst human rights records inside and out of its far from clearly defined borders. None of which makes it any less of a state, it actually seems more like something you have to do to join the club.
It's definitely not in Europe but it has really rubbish pop bands, so that alone qualifies it.
