Being able to talk to a government is a far cry from supporting it or agreeing with it. Even if you dislike Israel, you should want there to be diplomatic relations - that is how other countries can exert influence and attempt to steer them off more radical courses, after all.
Case in point - if the West had no diplomacy with them, then the opening of the border crossing into Egypt would never have happened.
I feel like Palestine would have something to say if “Iran” just waltzed in (how?) and decided to setup a concentration camp for jews, since israel as a country would rightfully no longer exist.

Communication breakdowns and bargaining friction is how wars start.

Counter example: America doesn’t negotiate with terrorists.
