My question for Israel is always why does it or any state have a right to exist? If a state is going beyond world laws and customs we decided after WWII that it’s fine to abolish a state and reforge something that doesn’t suck as much shit. There was a second German Reich and then the third Reich that Hitler created… and that was completely dismantled (yes, yes NATO, Paperclip, etc. you know what I mean). Nazi Germany, it was decided, did not have the right to exist. Same for the empire of Japan and fascist Italy.

No country has an absolute “right to exist.” People do. Countries do not. If your country is violating the supreme law of “don’t murder people in other countries or steal their shit” then do not expect people to believe your country should exist anymore. This is simple logic, I think, but Zionists seem to really struggle with it.

My favorite whataboutism (after they get done huffing and puffing about ANTISEMITISM (to which the reply is “so you think ALL Jews are Zionists? That all Jews are a monolith? That is the definition of anti-Semitic rhetoric. That there is a collusion and broad agreement amongst all Jews and that they all think the same way.”)) is “so, what, pfft the US shouldn’t exist?! They did and do more crimes than Israel!” And the dipshits seriously don’t know what to say if you say “yes. I agree. The international community should abolish the United States as a toxic force of death and corruption worldwide.”

I dunno, it’s weird having principles that always apply because I don’t have to make exceptions and excuse the atrocities of the US or Canada or the UK, etc. They’re all “bad” and in a just world would be divided up and not re-constituted until certain conditions were met. But we don’t live in a just world and we’re talking about a country’s right or not to exist. That doesn’t only apply to Israel, as much as the ADL would like to try to twist the focus to be solely on how everyone singles out Israel, it just isn’t true.
