Obviously the genocide the government of Israel is committing right now is horrific, but this begs the question: does any colonially-established and colonizer-ruled country have the right to exist? Like the USA? Canada? Australia?
They don't. The genocide and theft of land of their indigenous populations mostly happened less than 150 years ago. That land should be returned to indigenous sovereignty.
How that decolonization should proceed is a question not for the colonizers or their descendents to answer, but the indigenous tribes themselves.
