Why do you support Israel's right to exist?

anything that truly exists does not need the "right to exist" for what it's worth

since I'm on a roll, let me say my critique more specifically,

From what lofty aspiration do the "rights" of state bureaucracies derive?  I hear this term all the time, like the "right" for states to own such and such weapons or the "right" to protect its interests and so on.  Do the rights of the state trump human rights if they come on conflict?  I hope Israeli policymakers are thinking more about their people's rights than their state's rights when they are authorizing violent measures. Hell, you have to work to bring it out of me since it sounds bad on paper, but I've been a fairly staunch critic of overuse of the term "rights"  for like 90% of what people use it for.  it creates such an ugly world where there's no possible compromise.  right to our land vs. right to have a homeland, right to life vs. right to choice blah humbug

I consider myself more neutral than anyone else I know to begin with because I think both the Isrealis and the Palestinians have extremely legitimate yet irresolvable claims...sort of like trying to divide a baby between two equal parents.
