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?

  • iirc some people used to say some kind of kurdistan has the right to exist but nato-cool doesn’t care about them anymore so i haven’t heard about rojava or anything for several years

    none of the more established nation-states act like they’re under existential threat as the zionists do, so it doesn’t really come up. I think the primary purpose of the argument is to whitewash israel’s atrocities and it doesn’t have much to say about geopolitics.
