    Basically every country, for the most part, wants to keep regular relations going with every other country. Doesn’t mean they agree with each other or really even engage in trade. They want to remain friendly and have open communications channels. Severing ties in this way means that there is no possible normal interactions between them again.

      Good. Only ~215 countries to go. No one should have normal interactions with Israel or anyone who supports Israel.

          Do you think the only options are allow Israel to do a genocide or do a genocide on Israelis? Cutting off diplomacy with a settler colony client state is not genocide.

          There is probably a place between stupid and ridiculous that you could have aimed for. Amazingly, you managed to hit both of those.

          Amazing projection, considering those nasty Israelis are currently running the world's largest concentration camp and are working on converting it to a death camp.

      What makes a 'country' is and itself very complicated. I do not believe Israel would want diplomatic relations with countries which sanction it.

      ISIS was a 'state' at its peak and held control over territories but no one else had any formal diplomatic ties with them because everyone rightfully recognized them as an unlawful terrorist state. Is Israel really that different? Israel has shown blatant disregard for any peace plans whether its 1967 or Oslo. There are good reasons to not recognize Israel even though it holds territory.

      Also, just because two countries have no formal diplomatic relations doesn't mean they can't have interactions. Look at USSR and Israel in this example

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Ordzhonikidze_bus_hijacking

      They were extradited to the Soviet Union and sentenced to prison terms, although at that time Israel and the Soviet Union had no extradition treaty as relations were still severed at the time. All hostages were released.

        "Then–Defense Minister of Israel Yitzhak Rabin criticized Soviet authorities for providing the hijackers with an aircraft and flying them to Israel in exchange for the release of the hostages."

        Christ how evil can Israel get? "how dare you save an airplane full of children"

        I think the thing to recall in your example is that any treaties signed would formalize this process. In this case, they went through and made a request as a one-time thing that may never be repeated.
