Dumb question. 50 million Americans belong to evangelical churches that believe Israel's status as the Jews' homeland an essential part of their faith, and in particular to their salvation and redemption at the end of time.

Those who hate Jews and Israel -- Muslims and neo-Nazis mostly -- have no constituency in the USA. Many people quite ratioinally fear that once Israel would be gone, Arabs would turn against each other and the whole of the Middle East would be like Iraq today: lawless, with secular strife and insurrection.

The problem is that it never should have been established after WWII in the first place, but now that it has been, it isn't like you can just change the maps, and everything will be alright. The same problems that exist now would still exist, and what's worse? They would probably escalate, and we would face a genocide.
And if you're thinking "What about a mass evacuation?", do you realize how many trillions of dollars would be involved in relocating everyone in Israel into other parts of the world?
Too many, so the only answer that CAN work right now is to enforce a cease-fire, and also perhaps recognize that the Middle East is not really ready for democracy, which I won't get into, but if you want to, see my source- it is extremely valuable reading, even if you don't necessarily agree with the points.

does any nation have the right to exist? What nation or culture did not achieve its borders by conquest or politics? The borders on our maps where not there at the beginning of humanity. Israel's right to exist is the same as the United States, Britain, Germany, China, Japan, Libya, Pakistan, Egypt (well, everyone). So to solve this problem let us find a time in history where everyone will be happy about what land is ruled by whom. Israel and Palestine might go back to the Turks. Pakistan will be part of Britain oh yeah and so will India. All the Baltics can go to Russia. The eastern part of the US will go to Britain, the central to France, and the west to Spain.

No the state of Israel should not cease to exist.
What state of Israel should do is to cease to
behave arrogant, and learn to live peacefully with other nations, and cease the gunboat diplomacy that has been the hallmark of this nation since birth. Nations cannot survive if attack others, is the political agenda of a nation.

Send it to Mars or such... with what they did recently to Lebanese civilian population i don't think it has a moral right to exist.

Religion my foot! Is this what religion teaches... Media blitz cannot hide the tragedy that took place in violation to any norm we have known as humans.

Who will compensate for the desolation they created and the kids who have no parents anymore?

For two soldiers kidnapped they bombed a country away which is not even equipped to defend it self.

They continue to occupy a whole nation... and no one seems to have a problem. It expects not to be challenged even by the direct victims of its aggression. Both Gaza and West Bank are under seige because they elected a Hamas government which won't do Israel's bidding... while any communal or fascist party can come to power in Israel and no one minds it.

Israel is a shame on humanity.

And who is this world that granted them statehood in the occupied land? The neighborhood from whom they stole the land does not recognise them still.

No not at all. Obviously you militants have been unable to kill the Israelis off. You guys are too weak and always will be. And if your muslim brothers gave a rats azz about you all they would have given you some land to live on. But then again they don't like your azz as well. Soo looks like your in a pickle. Quit wasting your time trying to destroy Israel and try making your lives better elsewhere because Israel is here to stay....Israel and their 200 nuclear weapons. Can't smoke a Rock Dumb Azz.

God decides which counties exist and who leads them. If I were you, I would examine history and compare it with the bible before I would stand against Israel. They do not employ gunboat diplomacy, by the way. Since they were granted statehood by the world they have been attacked by haters and continue to exist only because of God's will. I am glad I know the end of the story. God bless Israel. I hope Israel soon realizes this as well.
