The radical muslims would like all people who do not follow their religion to be wiped off the face of the earth. They are lunatics, and if they aren't stopped they will continue to bring terror down on anyone who does not agree with them.
Israel has the right to exist, just as any other sovereign country does. All they have done is defend their country. But when you're up against craziness, that's a tough thing to accomplish.

I believe in power. If the muslim states really wanted Isreal erased from the map, they would band together and do it. Clearly, Isreal has fought for its right to exist and won. Until the "muslims" (Some countries) actually do something about it, then why bother preaching for desstruction.
The fact is that the countries don't really want Israel destroyed. They would have tried again if they did.
Maybe they like Israel as a scapegoat?
Maybe the higher ups in government are rational (For Americans, this might be a shock), and don't really mind Israel there.

Does Israel have the right to exist?. If you are a follower of the bible then yes since the bible states that the land was given to them by God.
If you athiest then absolutely not since there is no legal claim to the land.
The Hebrew tribes did live in the land we call Israel at some point in history but living in a particular place at some point does not give you a claim to that land, especially since the Arabs have been living there for hundreds of years previously.
Also Israel is a self fufilling prophecy, the land being partly created on the biblical belief that the state needs to exist before the second coming.
Should Israel exist now? Of course. Several decades have past since its creation and there are many people now who rightly can call Israel their home.
So in summary....
1. There are no non-religious reasons why Israel should have been created.
2. The creation of Israel partly came about because the European failed to let the Jews assimmiliate into the European nation states.
3. Israel should continue to exist now but a two state solution should be found, one that is based on secular rather than religious values.
Thank You.

Looking at the situation historically is pointless. I can't believe I'm saying that. I have a great love of history and in fact hold a degree in the field. Both sides have a right to hate the other. No matter who the gained control, most of today's Israelis have been there for a generation or more. It is their home.
At the same time, the palastinians have been brutalized, largly because of Isreals existance. Both sides are guilty and both sides are victims. How does a Jew in Isreal not hat a Palistinian Muslin. They must appear a bunch of blood crazed loonies who want nothing but an end to their homeland. On the other time if my family was oppressed by a bunch of land grabbing crusaders, I wouldn't hesitate strapping on the bombs and killing a few. Especially if someong would help out my family because I made the sacrifice.
To answer you question directly, I believe Isreal has a right to exist and I believe the Palistinians have a right to try to destroy them. If peace is to ever take hold, both sides will have to make huge concessions.

The Muslims (or anyone else) will never be able to erase Israel, no matter the intensity of their efforts. The creation of the Israeli state in 1948 was the fulfillment of an Old Testament biblical prophecy. Israel are the chosen people of God (then and now) and I won't be betting against Him anytime soon! And I'm an American Christian, not an Israeli or Jewish.

Israel has the right to exist, but so does Palestine. Only extremists who do not actually follow the Quran, believe Israel should be wiped out. There is a big difference between the Muslim religion which teaches compassion and mercy, and the terrorists who claim to be Muslim.

It is important to keep in mind that it is the Arabs who protest against Israel, not Muslims. Syria, Israel's arch-nemasis, is comprised of both muslims, christians, and even a tiny population of jews. They collectively want the current Israeli state (not jews) to be removed from Palestine. Non-Arab Muslims, such as Indonesians, couldn't care less about the Israeli state, since they aren't being affected by it.
It is commonly beleived that the Jews, if they wish so, should have a sovereign state, however it must be a state that does not displace other people who have been living there for nearly two millenia. Such less populated areas, such as Australia, Argentia, and Polynesia, have been suggested as prime locations for the Israeli state.

the united kingdom occuppied the entire section that's referred to now as Israel past to 1948. After WWII they desperate to furnish what became seen Palestine to the Jews and that state grew to grow to be Israel. i could no longer care much less appropriate to the situation of who's the valid proprietor of the land. All i be attentive to is the united kingdom had no properly suited to furnish away land that became no longer theirs at first. it is like the U. S. giving Mexico to Russia. it is not any longer theirs to furnish away. lots of the section that's now Israel became called Palestine past to 1948. Israel is definitely an illegitimate state that became set up by way of the united kingdom, US and different international places and with limitless investment and weapons became able displace the indiginous those with foreigners from out area the continent. regrettably for the Jews, their victims refuse to knuckle below even whilst they are battling against an enemy with limitless financing and weapons. They extremely blow themselves up on an analogous time as taking their enemy out then supply in to the overpowering stress. they can't combat a conflict truthful and sq. so as that they could hit below the belt and use terrorism because of the fact the only different decision is to offer up. money and stress won't be triumphant over Karma. beware Israel, Karma is going to chew you interior the butt.

The State of Israel was formed in 1948 by jewish terrorists who went to Palestine as illegal immigrants and carried out a process of ethnic cleansing against the Christians and Muslims who already lived there.
There will not be peace until the Palestinians get back their land.
