A recent poll suggests that Palestinians believe that Israel is an illegitimate state, and this has led to the inevitable outcry about 'a holocaust'.

Questioning 'Israel's right to exist' is to attack one of the great sacred cows of the time. By the way, I should point out that I recognize that Israel does exist, however when we begin to talk about 'rights' we enter into a different territory. (We could ask did the Spanish have a 'right' to cause such devestation in the Americas, and did the entities they create have 'a right to exist'. Or America, for that matter. The American myth is much the same as that Jewish myth. They came to a desolate and barren land and tamed the empty wild wilderness. Actually nations of peoples already existed in the Americas and were destroyed to form these present states, therefore, can we argue somehow that these nations 'have the divine right to exist' or is it even arguable that they have a 'legal right to exist'. What principle of justice do we call upon to justify this supposed 'right to exist'. Now in this case of the Americas the legal questions have been submerged only through the passage of time, but in the case of Palestine, this is a living question. In otherwords, many of those hundreds of thousands who were dispossessed in favor of 'Israel's divine right to exist' are still alive, although they are getting very old. They also have children and grandchildren who have heard their stories of 'my home', homes they were robbed of in order to 'clear the land of natives' so that then it could be 'civilized' by sending in Jewish people who would then, as that myth goes, 'tame the desert' and 'conquer the empty wilderness'. You might understand how Palestinians would feel differently about the whole legal question surrounding the justice of saying 'Israel has an unquestioned right to exist'. I for one, do not accept that Israel has 'a (legal) right to exist'. This is a legal question and those who wish to insist that Israel has this right are the ones who must somehow make a legal case using the ordinary principles of justice to support this argument.

Here the question is not so much 'should Israelis be slaughtered in a great slaughter' which is normally the way this question of Israel's existence is framed , but simply 'does Israel have a right to exist' and on just what legal basis would we make such a case.We know, for example, based on the census data, that there were about 1.3 million 'Palestinians' living in Palestine during the British mandate, with about a hundred thousand Jewish people, most of whom were imports under the doctrine of Zionism. I recall the words spoken to Hertzel (spelling?) when he sent some rabbis to scout out 'the promised land' and they returned to tell him 'the bride is beautiful, but unfortunately she is already married' (thus leaving Israel to consider committing homicide and adultery you might say, in order to marry the woman).

So then what are the solutions? I have always favored a lawsuit against those United Nations who were responsible for voting for this crime, and reparations. Keep in mind that there is all that accrued interest. It is in the interest of those United Nations to prattle on about 'Israel's right to exist', no doubt encouraged by lawyers, given their dubious legal position in this matter. Others favor the creation of a truly multicultural modern state, but given that famous Jewish paranoia somehow that seems unlikely. As for the religious support for Israel, the so called 'last days prophecies' which support this doctrine refer to the return of the Jewish people from exile in Babylon about 2500 years ago, prophecies which have now been recycled and used as the ideological justification for a clear violation of human rights and outright theft which has occured in our generation, and which is impossible to justify using any argument which claims to rely on the principles of justice. I await such a legal argument, and doubt I will ever hear from those 'United Nations' (on the advice of a hundred lawyers I am sure) who can be counted on to insist that Israel has 'a right to exist' without ever giving a coherent legal argument as to why this should be the case.

Critics of Palestinians have come out of the wood work to deride the poll result and their complaint states that there can be no peace in the Middle East as long as Palestinians continue to question the questionable legality of that state of Israel. I say, rather, that there can be no peace in the middle east until that submerged guilt of the Jewish people, their blood guilt, and their immoral theft is brought to the surface and dealt with, since it is this factor that has resulted in the Jewish nation becoming one of the great tyrant states of modern times and a vicious and uncomprimising oppressor. As for dealing with this blood guilt in a practical way, it will not be done through even more theft (the settlements, a truly atrocious act of cruel injustice and a slap in the face as well) or through military oppression, but rather I believe, through a lawsuit (a person can dream) and reparations, or through some other truly just means, as well as through a confession by both the United Nations and Israel that the country really does not have any 'right to exist' and trying to pull off that old American Indians scam and just hold out for 200 hundred years until everyone forgets is something that should not be in the cards, although it seems to be the long range strategy of the Jewish government. (Just hang in there...)

So then the real problem here is that the state of Israel has no real 'right to exist' and that is the Jewish problem. The guiltiness is the Jewish problem in this whole conflict and the real source of the violent oppression, the constant flood of phony propaganda coming from the Jewish lobby, and there can be no real peace in the Middle East as long as 'Western Activists' continue to unquestionably insist that 'Israel has a right to exist', to parrot that guilty United Nations phrase, and continue to oppress dissident Palestinain voices, the ones after all, who are on the receiving end of that clear act of injustice. Such a sticking to the status quo, and avoiding those sacred cows, also does nothing for the Jewish people, who will continue to suffer from that cognitive dissonance that is the real source of bigotry and oppression...
