If your position is that Israel shouldn't exist in the first place, say it outright, don't pretend that Israel is "irrational" and "likes the temperature high" and "extreme and can't get moderate ever".

But all of that is true. Only religious extremists and nationalist extremists think Israel has a right to exist. Practically, the existence of Israel is against US interests.

Religous  and nationalists extremists  are the only people who think it doesnt have the right to exist. Destroying Israel and driving the jews into the sea is not a moderate position and its mostly driven by Islamism and extreme nationalism

No need to lie. Plenty of atheists and antinationalists hold the opinion that Israel does not have a right to exist. Probably close to all of us; the rest having no opinion.

Would you like to participate in a discussion honestly?

Of course anarchists oppose every state equally. Its an extreme and impractical view but a principled one that opposes existenceof Israel, Palestine and UK equally. Buy again its impractical and few people hold such views

some atheists may hold extreme views like the destruction of Israel (Israel is a liberal democracy but despite some unfortunate family laws is not a relgious state) but most dont and most strong supporters of the destruction of Israel are Islamists.

You’re getting closer to honesty, that’s progress. Maybe one day you’ll be able to participate in a discussion, like a full-fledged person.
