Why or why not?

Yes, and I also support Palestine's right to exist--even though so many unabashedly say that there is no "Palestine." Sounds like more people are more against Palestine's existence to me.
Why do I support Israel's existance? Because although they took the land and made refugees out of many, they are already there and have been for generations--so it would be wrong to force anyone out of their country and homes.

Interesting question. Answered with a question.
Does the United States have a right to exist?
If a country like Israel does not have a right to exist, then neither does the US. What gives one country the right to think another country should not be? It's one world and 6 billion people, one world and 6 billion minds, one world and 6 billion opinions.

Israel has a right to exist the same way all other nations have a right to exist.
Namely no one is currently willing or able to destroy it.
All of Israels enemies cannot destroy it. This gives Israel the right to exist, and it lose it if that changes.

Yes, of course. People can argue about what really happened in 1948, but the fact is that Israel has existed for nearly 60 years and it's not going anywhere.

Yes.... like it or not, agree with it or not, the state of Israel was formed by international agreement in 1948 after the United Nations approved the partition of the British Mandate of Palestine into two states, Jewish and Arab, in November 1947.
Following World War II, the British announced their intention to withdraw from the British mandate of Palestine. The United Nations General Assembly proposed the partition of Palestine into two states, an Arab state and a Jewish state, with the city of Jerusalem to be under the direct administration of the United Nations. While most Jews in Palestine accepted the proposal, most of the Arabs in Palestine rejected it.
On May 14, 1948, the last British forces withdrew from Palestine, and the Jews, led by David Ben-Gurion, declared the creation of the State of Israel, in accordance with the 1947 UN Partition Plan.
(The previous 2 paragraphs from Wikipedia.. thanks!)
It seems that whenever there is any international "crisis," the "libs" keep screaming about going to the UN to resolve the problem. Well.... in the case of Israel, the UN DID resolve the crisis. So, what's the beef now? The state was "created" by a legal act of the UN. Why shouldn't they have a right to exist now?

Of course. They have held there land against attack after attack fair and square. They have as much right to be a nation as any other. The rest of the world needs to adjust to that. I agree that the Palestine's need a homeland as well and hope that a peaceful solution can be found. But the first step is every one accept the fact that Israel is there and is never going any where

Yes. I don't care about any of their 'from the Bible'-stuff, but some people want to call themselves "Israel" as a group, and they are free to do so in my kingdom.

Yes I do--they have as much right to exist as do the Palestinians.
