But I also think Netanyahu, Likud, and the settlers are horrible human beings. And the invasion by Hamas was a gift to them.
Like most people in the world, I think Palestinians and Israelis are both terrible. They deserve each other. For the rest of the world, the important thing is to contain it. If Palestinians and Israelis want to be idiots, fine. But their idiocy and cruelty needs to stay within their borders and not spread. I think that's the biggest priority. Until Palestinians and Israelis choose different leaders, it's hopeless.
What is the rationale for this? What “right” are you referring to?
Agree with pp. Why does any country have a "right" to exist? I respect the rights of all people to be safe and free, but countries, and certainly ethno nation states, don't deserve "rights" more than people.

Nations don’t possess rights. No nation (including Israel, the U.S., China, Russia, Iran, Spain, Brazil, Australia, and so on) has a “right to exist”.
Your regurgitation of the falsehood that they do is the root of the problem when it comes to having a serious discussion about the obligation that nations have - to adhere to international law, principally.

Ben Gurion was the first Prime Minister of Israel. Wikipedia says his nationality was Israeli, Ottoman, and Palestinian. But he was definitely born in Poland.

It won’t happen though, Frump has sold Gaza in exchange for a $400million jet and his other deals with SA, Syria, Iran and Qatar.

Palestinians did not even bear arms to be an army back then. They never had a sovereign country so therefore they did not have a military, army, navy or Air Force like their Arab neighbors.
Israel was ahead of the curve because since the 1920s they were building their military secretly with the Irgun and Stern defense form and other gangs that eventually all became the IDF.
Palestinians took a very very long time and a learning curve to get there but one would say steel sharpens steel and Hamas finally got the one up over the PLO and arguably now Israel itself
Who was funding the secret Israeli military in the 1920’s?
