Israel has as much right to exist as any other country. It also has a right to a secure homeland where the atrocities of the 20th century can never ever be repeated.

Telling Israelis that they should not live there does not solve any problems, it only adds to them and causes more resentment and polarization.

what they have now is only a fraction of what God gave them. and besides the arabs didnt want anything to do with until they came back and transfromed it.
