    A key factor to "Have A Right To Exist" is respecting others "Rights to Exist".  To answer this question then the need for additional spedific clarification of missing information. In answering "Does Palestine" The definition of the specific of "Palestine" is needed to answer the question accurately and properly.



    Palestine can be described in many different terms and as such answers and the specific "Palestine" perspective or assumed concerns specific to the term "Palestine" and what one's thought of or  thinks "Palestine" is relative to  their stated answer as. Palestine may be:



    Palestine, the People? Palestine the Hammas? Palestine the actual place located in the middle east? Palestine and Israel since the it's so long ago it is almost like what's the problem again? Palestine and Israel both being locked in decades and perhaps untold years old of conflict with the Jews of Israel? The difference between what Palestine is for this questions needs clarification as it is rather broad and an  answer to this question could cause more confusion concerning what an answer may or may not relate to and the perhaps perspective surrounding an answer.

      Why wouldn't anyone have the right to exist?

      Just because you don't agree with their ways doesn't mean they can't exist

        God has given every country the right to be.  He loves all people, but many reject Him.  But their stand against Israel is against God, and that will not stand.

        Is standing up for drinking water against God, too?

        Ah now let's not be sarcastic. Of course supporting drinking water is not anti-God, that would be ridiculous since He created it! You are really getting carried away! What are you afraid of! Not everything is against God- but if it comes down to pleasing God, or pleasing man, I'll take God. Man is not going to stand up for me before the Throne of God!

        I would have to say yes all place and even people do no matter how bad or good it is. Places that are bad need to have a revolution to get someone new into power. Many places have had revolutions and they have turned out to make the country better

        If not their actual homeland, where should the Palestinians be allowed to exist?

          They have as much right to exist as do the israelis. When the nazis tried to exterminate the jewish people they could not succeed. If the israelis try to exterminate the palestinians they will not succeed. Might and military might does not equal right. A two state solution is the only solution but only if the respect from both sides is equal. The israeli approach to the palestinian problem is not reflecting positively on other jews worldwide. Indeed there has been an upsurge in anti semitism. The palestinians have every right to protest and fight to regain their lands.

          A two-state solution can work, if neither party rejects the other parties right to exist. Unfortunately, the history of agreements always involves rejectionism of some sort.

          This is a tough one. The conflict is 1000's of years old. Both claim the same piece of dirt as a Holyland. The United Nations said (in 1949 I think), here, Is Real, it's yours. The Palestinians said, no it's not! And away we go. It shows the stupidity of man when all rational thinking is put aside and replaced by non-rational emotional blindness and hatred. Do they have a right to exist? Yes. Do they have the right to lob mortars over the border that kill and maim indiscriminately? No. It is their continued terrorist behavior and "death to the Jews" attitude expressed in their every breath that will revoke that right. And then who are they going to blame?

          If your neighborhood were surrounded with barbed wire, and your childeren deprived of medical care and water supplies, you might be tempted to lob projectiles over the fence, too.

          But if you didn't lob mortars into villages and set off car bombs, maybe there wouldn't be any barbed wire. This conflict is so old that it has become a tradition to fight each other. I don't know who cast the first stone way back when, but maybe if everybody put the stones down, they could get somplace. I doubt that will ever happen Ever.

          It is simple..
          Do you have the right to live..?

          if your answer is yes, then that answers this question....

          and no one has the authority over others life....... Not even to judge it.....

          I think all counties, cities, states, countries, towns and the like reserve that right to exist, good or bad. They're obviously there for a reason.

          No state is legitimate, so has no right to exist.
