Does Israel have the right to exist?

It is the title of a provoking article I found on Medium. Most comments to that article dismiss it as anti-Semitic because today’s readers like to be pleased, not intellectually challenged. BTW, the author is Jewish.

We have many dysfunctional nations; ergo, we can ask if all of them should have the right to exist. For example, Yugoslavia fell apart. Does entirely dysfunctional Columbia should have the right to exist? Then, when we look at Israelis’ inability to settle the real estate claims with the previous owners of their territory, we can see Israel as a nuisance, distorting worldwide peace and order.

And, maybe if Israelis knew that the world sees things that way, they would find a peaceful way of co-existing with Palestinians.
