Until the majority of Palestinians accept that Israel has a right to exist alongside a Palestinian state, there won't be lasting peace between the two. An incredibly poor choice of words, but the point is clear to those willing to listen.
Honest question, what gives any country a right to exist?
All rights are made up. They're just things that enough people thought were good, so we formed consensus on them.
Thats not a demerit against them, though.
International Law.
That's circular logic, though. International Law is just a set of agreements between sovereign powers. It doesn't spring from seafoam, fully formed. What gives any nation a "right" to exist?
This explain really why the question of israel right to exists propaganda talking point https://youtube.com/shorts/k12E7LuD2_4
And? What's circular about it? Nations arise from self organizing societies, and these nations come together to define international laws. And then they define the right of self affirmation, and if the main powers recognize a state it is assigned the right to exist. And if the core powers of this world decide that a country does not matter, they'll look the other way as those rights are bombed. It's an emergent property of international politics.
No rights do, so I don't understand where you're going with this.
It isn't circular logic because international law is what gives a country a right to exist. It isn't any more complicated than that for the sake of this conversation.
It’s just self determination
But international law is more like “is recognized”, if no one recognizes your claim then there isn’t much you can do
