I'm sure this thread, like the other one will go down like a lead balloon filled with bricks.

oh no you *didn't*





I voted YES.

i was dared

For the one, so far, who has voted "no"... would you please explain why you don't believe Palestine has a right to exist? Also, what do you recommend should happen to all the Palestinians whose families were there long before the zionist state was established?

I think I know WHO would of voted NO

I'm curious to know....... WHO ??????

i voted yes..and so does israel

I voted no. For a joke.

I think the question, as well as that posed in the other thread is pretty nonsensical at the end of the day.

Rice is addressing the issue of both. This is really a hot topic with buttons all over the place to be pushed. Check the video footage in this link and you'll know what I mean.

i think the better question is..does it deserve to be an independent country or state ??

What does this question even mean?
Right to exist as it does today?
Right to exist in a different way?
If different, than in what way?

Who exactly has the right to decide if any country/state/people or religion has the right to exist???

YES

Sure they both have a right to coexist in peace.

it just breeds hatred

If you want this thread left open, play nice. If you don't play nice I'll bring along my huge vat of chocolate pudding and I'll unceremoniously dump each and every one of you into it. Promise.

No, of course not. What a silly question. Palestine has no right to exist at all. Neither do the Palestinian people. They exist at Tel Aviv's mercy, as it should be.

i would tell you to stfu..by you are witty today.. i am sure your post cause a firestrom of hatered and vemon

Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

Point taken.

Sounds like a nice idea...too bad there are groups of people on both sides that will probably never allow that to happen.

Interesting that this thread didn't go down in flames like the other one.

Oh and to answer the question...most definitly.

I was thinking the same thing....

Maybe if I vehemently say "NO"! , Mags will bring it on....

*goes to get spoon*

Cheeky minx!

Not sure which one.

In West Bank, in Jordan or in Gaza (Hamastina)???

I voted Yes. Of course, the Palestinians have right to exist.

Alas, that was not the question.

No but perhaps another poll is in order.

I'll agree with this, but they need to quit suicide bombings and renounce terrorism.

Negotiate for peace and they will prosper.

Palestine has a right to exist (meaning the Palestinian people have right to have an independent Palestinian state). So I voted YES.
