Why do you support Israel's right to exist?

[The Mikado]

Option 3, and none else. There were certainly better places to put them, however.

Name three.

Not that I (or anyone else) takes it seriously, but Josef Stalin had a suggestion:


As for Israel's "right to exist," I don't see how it's any different than asking why Spain has a right to exist, or China has a right to exist, or Saudi Arabia has a right to exist.  This might have been a valid debate in 1947, but it certainly isn't now.

I don't necessarily think that an ethno-religious-based state is a good thing, and I'm not really fond of nationalism, but we don't live in an ideal world, so the one-state Israel/Palestine solution is completely unworkable (sadly).

[The Mikado]

The Jewish Oblast is actually a much more logical location than Palestine. If Israel had been set up there, there would be no fighting.

But it would've required living A. in the Stalinist Soviet Union, and B. in the middle of freakin' nowhere.
