Asked whether "Israel has a right to exist" a great answer can be: "Yes. But Israel exists and its existence is accepted by pretty much all countries in the region and the world. But does Palestine have a right to exist? Because Israel does everything from stopping Palestinians from exercising that right. So shouldn't THAT be the question?" Instead, the geniuses of the pro-Palestine movement have settled on "no state has a right to exist" which is neither here nor there and is a cop-out that denies the very real eleminationism that many harbor toward Israel (but really only one state in the world declares and pursues, i.e. Iran)

Abdul El-Sayed, who is Muslim, walks a fine line on the Jewish state. On Tuesday night, he told the crowd—as he does often—that his problem is not with Jews. “All of us love and revere Jewish folk, our Jewish neighbors, the faith of Judaism,” he said, hands outstretched. Later that night, in a makeshift spin room assembled by the campaign, he rebuffed my question on whether he believes in Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. “What do you mean by ‘Jewish state?’ ” he retorted, narrowing his eyes. “If you can’t answer that question, I’m not going to answer it.” For someone who often waves around his respect for Judaism, he seemed unaware of something elementary: Judaism is not only a religion, but a people with a long-standing connection to Israel that runs through its prayers, traditions, and history.

Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin states that it would be a huge mistake to leave even one Palestinian boy in Gaza and adds that nothing is more moral than eradicating the Muslim Palestinian population in Gaza to the very last one.
