That sounds like either a liberal either fishing for an argument, an anti-Semite looking for an argument, or liberal fishing for some kind of affirmation of something she heard from a professor.
That question is loaded more than a gun at Phil Spector's house or a Johnny Cochran cross-examination.
I like to tell liberals who ask that kind of thing that since Israel was created by the United Nations it has every right to exist since the United Nations is perfect and doesn't make mistakes. It's fun to watch them fume and start making excuses about "rich white men" and such.
Exactly, just like my local police will back up my "right" to keep my house and property on what used to be land that belonged to the local Paiute tribe.
What right to exist do ignorant scum such as yourself have?
The quest for some "right to exist" granted by a mythical "world community" and bolstered by equally fictitious "international law" is a curious obsession of some Israeli Jews, and a lot of their American brethren.
Israel, like the United States and every other nation on earth has the right to what it can take and defend.
No more, no less.
"Does Israel have a right to exist"
Apparantely there ARE stupid questions. Of course it has the right to exist.
What would have happened to Arabs in Israel in 1948 if all the surrounding Arab countries had not declared war on Israel and attacked her?
Nothing. All the Arabs living in Israel would have kept their property and gone on living as they had done previously, albeit in a new state, rather than under the Turkish Ottomans or British mandate.

Go placidly amidst the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may
be in owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you
are in need of sleep. Rotate your tires. Speak glowingly of those greater
than yourself; and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss - and when. Consider that two wrongs never make a right,
but that three do. Wherever possible, put people on hold. Be comforted,
that in the face of all irridity and disillusionment, and despite the
changing fortunes of time, there is always a big future in computer
maintenance.

Remember the Pueblo. Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and
mutilate. Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI. Exercise caution
in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you... That
lemon on your left, for instance. Be assured that a walk through the seas
of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love,
therefore, it will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of
youth: the birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan - and let not the sands of time
get in your lunch. Hire people with hooks. For a good time, call 606-4311,
ask for Ken. Take heart in the deepening gloom that your dog is finally
getting enough cheese. And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your
lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee.

Therefore, make peace with your god, whatever you perceive him to be: hairy
thunderer or cosmic muffin. With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban
renewal, the world continues to deteriorate. GIVE UP!

Are you directing that at me personally?
Israel does. France does not.
Israel....What fighters these folks are.
Neitche not sure....
We've had enough pussyfooting around the heart of the matter.
Answer to the Liberal Questioner: "More inventions per capita for the health of mankind."
Answer to a true friend: "For bringing man closer to God."
Thanks for all your responses!
History lesson: Jews had been in Israel even after the Diaspora imposed by the Romans 2000 years back. The Arabs wanted nothing to do with that region, as they thought that desert was too harsh even for them. Jerusalem, oddly enough, was a predominately Christian city for the centuries following the Crusades.....it had a minor Arab population at best.
The reason the muslimes want Israel eliminated is found in the Koran, the Sunnah and the Hadiths: Any land occupied by muslimes, even if stolen from someone else (in short, when muslimes become squatters), is muslime forever (hence, the reasons Arabs still call Spain "al-Andalus"....it dates to the time before the Reconquista, and they have never accepted the Spanish reconquest of the Spanish homeland from the muslimes). Thus, the small Arab population (negligible, actually) present in the Holy Land when the Zionist movement began to resettle Jews in Israel in large numbers viewed the Jewish return as a violation of islime, and the Jews needed to be destroyed. This led, by the 1940s, to an Arab alliance with the Nazis (the Mufti of Jerusalem, Arafart's uncle, was a welcome guest several times in Berlin, and the Nazis raised some muslime Waffen-SS divisions, most notably "Handschar" in Bosnia), and the adoption of a "final solution" and "judenrein" attitude among the Arab countries toward the nation of Israel.
Bluntly, the Arabs are the interlopers. The Holy Land has been Jewish for 4000 years, and as a Catholic Christian, I will support to the end my Jewish bretheren in their fight to keep their promised homeland. God gave the Jews that land....and no idol worshipping followers of a pedophile false prophet can overrule God.
