does Israel have a right to exist as it does today?

Answer 1

The state of Israel was legally created out of the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. The area was desolate, desert and swamp, with some small towns and a few inhabitants, many of them nomads. The inhabitants considered themselves mostly Syrian. The Balfour Declaration issued by the British, who were given the mandate over the area by the League of Nations. Jews have lived in the country since Biblical times. The Arabs from the surrounding areas were lured to "Palestine" by the industry and prosperity that the Jews brought to the region. Envy, hatred and religious fanaticism turned the Arabs against the Jews. In 1947, under pressure, the British resigned their mandate. The same year, the United Nations mandated partioning of the territory. The Jews, though disappointed, accepted the partition. The Arabs rejected it and launched war against Israel. The armies of five Arab countries invaded. Following the exhortations of the invaders, the Arab residents got out of the way hoping to return after victory was attained. They could then reclaim their property and that of the Jews, all of whom would have been killed or would have fled. Israel won. That and that alone is the source of the Palastinian "refugees". Had the Arabs accepted the UN partition plan, there would now have been a state of "Palestine" for the last 58 years. The might have attained a similar level of prosperity, advancement and development as Israel. 50% of Israel's population now includes refugees from Morocco, Algeria, Iraq and Yemen. All were accepted by Israel with open arms and have become successful members of their society. The Palestinians refused to integrate these refugees into their population and instead confined them to "refugee camps". The ones there are now fourth generation and through no fault of Israel.

So, yes!

Answer 2

Israel has the right to exist because God exists. That is why people are trying to get rid of Israel, if they are able to get rid of the Jews they can then say that there is no God, but as long as the Jews exist, God exists. That is why it is futile all these nations fighting against Israel, they are only fighting against God, they will never win, they can never win.
Israel will not only survive but extend her borders, Jordan belongs to Israel as does Lebanon, part of Iraq and Iran and some of Egypt.
This WILL happen when Messiah comes.
Oh the Muslims say this is not true, however they believe it enough to have walled up the gate where King Jesus will enter into the city, and they have put a Muslim graveyard in front of the gate, as if that can stop God.
They WILL bow the knee to King Jesus and they WILL confess Him as Lord.

Answer 3

Dittos to the nazi comment. Isreal, as was said by someone else, was created by the UN by taking a partition of Palestine away (while it was still a British colony). Palestinians...those who inhabited the land...didn't want the Jews there. For one, it's not like the Jews and the Palestinians haven't been fighting over land for the past two thousand years. Secondly, no nation, international organisation, or any such group has any right to strip another nation of some of its property and redistribute it to another "needy" group. The whole Israel thing is bullcrap. I have lots of Jewish friends, and I have nothing against the Jewish faith, but when faith and politics mix, you always get a mess. Look at our nation and religion. So many of the main issues out there wouldn't be half as important if they didn't inflame religios tensions. Religion + Politics=BAD.

Answer 4

I think it's ridiculous to keep answering this question by looking at religion. The question is asking about the secular state of israel not the right jews have to exist.
I personally believe that the state of israel was unfairly created and does NOT have a right to exist in its present position.

We Americans took this land from the Indians. They had a right to exist. We Americans have the right to exist. Everybody including Israel has the right to exist.
