I have heard that it is anti semetic to “deny israel has a right to exist”
Which makes me curious. Is it a generally accepted premise either in law or just by people that countries have “rights”?
I think of rights as something people have.
If countries do have rights, is exisiting one of them?
like inherently? no absolutely not. at best, groups of people have the right to declare themselves the constituents of a nation-state but then we have to talk about what rights are and whether it’s even a coherent idea outside of the completely arbitrary legal systems we invent.
