You can be an anarchist and still understand the system we currently live in.
Recognising a people are being genocided and should be given legitimacy on the world stage, to help protect themselves, to get aid that they couldn’t unless they’re a nation state, is more anarchist than always living in the theoretical, hoped for, future world.
Eventually, yes, borders should get to fuck. But we don’t live in that world yet. Right now Israel is killing Palestinians in droves.
Might Is Right is less anarchist than borders.
Being anti genocide is more anarchist than being anti borders.
Nation states are by their very nature genocidal. Just look what happened to the Jews and Israel. They were the victim of a genocide, so the international community gave them a nation state. Now they commit a genocide. That is not the only case of that happening. Genocides follow the creation of nation states all across the world. By definition a nation state is meant for only one nation. So a nation state is always racist. Just as is the idea of ethnicity, which inherintly leads to racism.
Also do not look at the donor list for the UNRWA, if you want to believe the recognizing Palastine is needed to send aid. Indeed I find it obvious to help fellow human beings, without having to recognize state or ethnicity. Not doing so, seems to me to be a massive problem.
Anarchist are not human…

What do you think they are? Lizards? Birds?
Underrated comment. Even if most self proclaimed anarchists are stateists by old habbit anyways.
