Looks like another loss to Palestine.
I guess people will still have to clear Israel customs.
Switzerland does not recognize Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) as an independent state.
What do you expect? It’s Switzerland.
Switzerland played a central role in storing, laundering, and trading Nazi-looted gold during World War II, much of which came from Holocaust victims and occupied European nations.
Is Taiwan recognized as a ‘state’?
Is England recognised as a state?
Is US recognized as a state?
Yes, it is.
United stateS 
It still is recognised as a state.
Yes, by UN etc. But ask an American what state he comes from and nobody will say USA. Just words have different meanings, not a serious question
Ask me what county I’m from in the United Kingdom and I won’t say United Kingdom.
I’m not sure where we’re going with this discussion. @cake started it, which possibly is the answer.
possibly is doing some heavy lifting there eh
In English, state may also be short for sovereign state.
As said, words have different meanings… state of mind
Palestine isn’t a country and Palestinians aren’t human beings with human rights.
Not if they keep getting groomed to blow up buses and kidnap teenagers at parties they’re not.
And why don’t any of the other Arab countries want them? Makes you wonder…
Not that it’ll matter much longer. The Abraham accords will continue to grow once Iran is finally out of the picture.
Hey - they’ll be plenty of service industry jobs on that Gaza strip once Hamas is removed and it’s turned into a tourist paradise.
As long as they speak good Hebrew and American English they’ll be in good shape 
Who knows? Some of them might even end up owning one of the hotels on the strip!
Sounds familiar. Millions of unemancipated darkies serving their masters faithfully just like God intended with Uncle Sam overseeing it all.
Your imagination and generalization of everything is getting the better of you.
how is taiwan cheaper than America? I bet the cheaper minority labor helps right?
Are you playing the role of representing Uncle Sam in such a situation? To your non American employees you do, boss.
That low taiwan salary though - a dream!
Couldn’t have happened without America in taiwan I assure you
