Right to Exist
Reader comment on item: Israel Does Not Need Palestinian Recognition?

Submitted by Bruce (United States), Jun 30, 2006 at 15:17

I'm so glad I've finally seen this terminology addressed. It's always bothered me that this is a goal of negotiations, something that is sought after. Israel exists, period. The Palestinians are the ones who should be seeking the right to exist, since they don't.
