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?
I have no idea about the legal aspects of this question, and also laws are almost always written by the bourgeoisie so I don’t value them, but for me I think the idea that countries have rights that supersede human rights is absurd to me. Like, the idea that living creatures deserve rights before abstract concepts like countries or corporations is so self evident to me.
So for me at least, I do not think Israel as a Zionist state has a right to exist. The Zionist project requires ethnic cleansing and genocide to exist and continue and that should be enough to argue against any rights that are to be ascribed to the entities that support that project
