absolutely don`t give a damn whether they have the right to exist or not, it`s their internal semitic affair.. their family problems are not our business

Yes. For one, I see Israel as an important American ally. Far too many people focus only on the monetary/political/military/intelligence capital we expend in order to support Israel without realizing that they help us out as well. Our relationship is quid pro quo, not altruistic. Geopolitically, Israel allows us to project power into the Middle East. Intelligence sharing with Israel is an important component of counterterrorism in this country.
Really, there is no such thing as a "right to exist" in the world. That right exists only insofar as those with power recognize it. Fortunately for Israel, and the rest of the world, America is quite a benevolent superpower, and we naturally sympathize with a country like Israel.

Yes. The Jews have been among the most viciously persecuted groups in human history, and they have always had a historic tie to the land now broadly called Israel. Given how there are numerous predominantly Christian, Islamic and even Buddhist countries in the world - some with an official religion, others not - then why should the idea of Jews having one country they can truly call home and predominate be so contentious?

Of course.
Warning:
Discussing the legitimacy of Israel is an egregious waste of time.
You can do nothing about it. Wake up! Take a hobby. Volunteer with homeless people. Learn to play the harmonica. Israel is immutable.

Israel now exists and likely isn't going anywhere.
The circumstances could have been better but it is what it is. Time to move on.
