    Not accepting israels right to exist is a call for genocide against israel. Israel exists and has the right to exist. You can recognize that and still be against Netanyahus government.

      By that logic the creation of israel was a genocidal act in itself because it created a right for a people to eist where others were existing previously.

      If removing the right to exist of the Palestinian people is perfectly acceptable why is it necessary to keep chanting support for the rights of the aggressor?

      Israeli jews have the right to life, freedom, safety. They have the right to a home in the Holy Lands.

      They don’t have the right to set up a Jewish supremacist apartheid state to deny the same rights to everyone else.

      The state that they have created and entrenched with genocide and “facts on the ground” no longer has legitimacy to exist in its present form. Because of its entrenchment I don’t see how it can be reformed.

      So instead, ending this political entity to establish a new democratic one seems to be the surest way out of this mess.

      This is not a call for genocide by any stretch of imagination.
