I believe what should be asked is recognition of Israel, not of her right to exist.
If Hamas maintains Israel has no "right to exist" should it close shop?
The phrase, I have a hunch, is an echo of the days when Jews in the Diaspora existed, as Shakespeare said in the words of Shylock, on the sufferanc e of others their right to exist --if not, Jews were likely to face murderous attack.
And how is the term "rioght to exist" consistent with "self-determination? As Menachem Begin declared, as PM, we don`t ask anyone to recognize our right to exist. |
