I hate to keep going into this but the legitimacy of the existence of Israel is not just a matter of "it has a right to exist" or "it should be destroyed". I think there's a lot of intermediary things to be said and reasoned about. For example, in its current form the way that the state of Israel is behaving is very similar to what got other countries and their leaders as defendants in the court of human rights.


And Netanjahu will have to face the courts for this. His response to the atrocities of Hamas wasn't proportionate and it wasn't taking civilian lives sufficiently into account (IMHO). Yet, this has nothing to do with Israel's right to continue to exist.

You can't weigh evil against other evil. You got to find another way.
