Another platitude. What do you mean by this? Israel's current actions are indefensible. Many of its past actions are indefensible. Its policy of neither recognizing a Palestinian state nor granting equal citizenship to Palestinians is indefensible.

It certainly does not have a right to continue existing in its current form, no more than Nazi Germany did.
