The ICJ says Israel is an entity built on crimes against humanity. Am not sure why there should be any right of an apartheid genocidal ethno-state to exist in a place with multiple ethnicities.

Problem is that we live in a history-and-fact-free digitally-driven society where the discourse is completely stripped of any grounding in knowledge. Anything you want can be the "truth" if you just lie often and loudly.

BUT: you know why UNRWA exists? Or why the word "refugee camp" is a constant refrain in descriptions of Palestine today? Think about it.

https://www.unrwa.org/who-we-are

"......Following the 1948 War, UNRWA was established by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 302 (IV) of 8 December 1949 to carry out direct relief and works programmes for Palestine refugees....The Agency began operations on 1 May 1950.......In the absence of a solution to the Palestine refugee problem, the General Assembly has repeatedly renewed UNRWA's mandate, most recently extending it until 30 June 2026....UNRWA is unique in terms of its long-standing commitment to one group of refugees. It has contributed to the welfare and human development of four generations of Palestine refugees, defined as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 War....When the Agency began operations in 1950, it was responding to the needs of about 750,000 Palestine refugees. Today, some 5.9 million Palestine refugees are eligible for UNRWA services......:"

So, UNWRA exists because...Every single Palestinian who is in a "refugee" camp today, inside Palestine, in Jordan, in Lebanon.....is a STATELESS descendant of people summarily ejected from "Israel", basically living in limbo - for generations in a row.

UNRWA and these refugee camps are the equivalent of an orphanage. Fact.

The Gaza Strip full of refugee camps. Refugees from where? Well....."Israel". Successive waves of people have been ejected there from what is now "Israel". Most of them dont actually hail from that territory - the Israeli's SHOVED them out there.

Do you know that the "West Bank" has many refugee camps contain the rest of the remaining Palestinians that the zionists ejected from what is now "Israel"? And that already, all over the entire West Bank territory the original residents are being steadily ejected from their land and homes and replaced by zionist settlers?

How can anyone say it's a "right" to do that?

Sorry but on the face of those facts, saying Israel has " a right to exist".... is like saying the nazis had a right to exist, and had a right to deport jews to concentration camps, but they just needed a ceasefire to stop killing people in there...although the person saying that was also handing the nazis weapons and gas canisters while "calling for a ceasefire" agains the jewish resistance which the person was calling "terrorists".

Absurd scenario really. But indeed: absurdity is the nature of the fact-free, history-free narrative that western masses are bombarded with daily in the media.
