absolutely!!!
Jews are one of the oldest religions on the planet, older than Christianity, older than Islam.....why shouldn't they have a right to exist....they have fought longer and harder than ANY other organized religion for their right.
I say let them be.

I believe Israel does have a right to exist. However I also believe that the problems in that region have not been addressed. The fact is that 6 million people where displaced to form Israel. These people had nothing to do with the Holocaust, and for the most part where peaceful.
Perhaps cutting out a chunk of Germany for a Jewish state would have been more appropriate. However now that Israel has been in existence for 60 years or so, the only logical solution is to find some compromise that will lead to long term stability and peace.

No,not the way it exists today occupying other people's land...There are thousand of Palestinians living in UN's refugees camp in awful conditions so that Israel could be a country,,,Too many people have died(Israelis and Palestinians) and many will die so that Israel could be a country...
And no because no religion should be allowed to have it's own country...it's wrong...Israel shouldn't have been created in first place and so many problems would have been avoided...But unfortunately now there is nothing we can do about it...
I have nothing with the people that live in Israel...everyone has the right to exists...and so do the thousand Palestinians who's right to exists is being denied by the Israeli government...

Not in its present form.
I would never argue about the citizens of Israel having every right to exist, but their state is based on a racist ideology and ethnic cleansing, and should therefore be subsumed in the State of all People of Palestine. If there were a will there would be a way.
But as long as we give Israel a privileged status and deal with them as if they were a civilized country, why would they want to change anything. Until we treat them like we did South Africa under Apartheid nothing will change.

Well, I believe everyone deserves their own country, not only Jews, but Palestinians too. In 1947, the UN did take a vote, but how many nations were in the UN back then? How many Asian/African nation were there? Did the Palestinians get a vote too?
We often speaks of the horrorble thing Saddam did, but no one ever said something about rebuild Kurdistan, which the Kurds wouldn't be perscuted. We gave our crappiest land to the Native Americans and call it "reservation." We unlawfully annexed Hawaii, a sovergn nation and only remembered to apologize a hundred year later. Everyone need their own nation in order to be free of perscution. Though many people, even today, are refugees in their own land. Then the government need to do more to protect their own people. No one give a damn if its not your own government, but even your own government cannot protect you all the time. But still, better than be on a foreign land.

yes because if they took a vote in israel if they should exist they would say yes. Just like the kurds should have there own country because if most of the people in northern iraq could vote they would vote for a seperate country.

No it doesn't. They exploited western guilt and milked western sympathy to even justify their founding. Now they are creating countless problems among their neighbors and will never get along with them. Add to the fact that they STOLE nuclear secrets from the US means they don't have the right to exist.
Over 60 million people died in WW2, not just the 6mm Jews you hear about: don't fall victim to zionist guilt traps, etc.

Israelis have a right to exist. Israel (where it is now) does not.

Look at the map and realize that Israel is a tiny little blob of land amongst giants...and ask yourself why averyone is so bent out of shape that they should have even that.
