It's bizarre that there's so much focus on Israel's so-called 'right to exist' when it's Palestine that's been quite literally wiped off the map by Israeli occupation, annexation, colonisation and ethnic cleansing.
In case there is any doubt, Netanyahu made clear with his little map today what normalization really seeks: eliminating Palestine and Palestinians from the region and legitimizing greater Israel, all with the blessing of Arab regimes.

If anything calling Israel a 'racist state' is too soft.
Israel is an apartheid regime run by fascists and supremacists. Recognising this reality - which has been enabled by both Democratic and Republican administrations - is not anti-Semitic.
There are 2 million Arab citizens of Israel with full civil rights. No Muslim country offers that for Jews.
A US Congresswoman calling Israel a "racist State" must be strongly condemned, and the Dems need to root out this growing Antisemitism in the party
