Why do you support Israel's right to exist?

[Хahar 🤔]

Option 7, but the idea of a "right to exist" is really totally irrelevant.

Because it's their land.

What does this even mean?

I voted for the first three because Israel is a good and valuable antion that represents the potential for other Middle Eastern democracies to succeed.

By occupying all the neighboring territory and treating the inhabitants of the occupied lands as third-class aliens?

Sure, Israel currently gives a weird taste of democracy there in the territories.

In much the same way that the European empires spread democracy?

I'd rather not have that sort of democracy.

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).

Fixed.

If any state lacks a right to exist, it's Saud.

Silesia could have quite easily been designated a Jewish state.
