Chanting ‘from the river to the sea’ would be criminalised under proposed state law

Israel has as much right to exist as any other state.
Much as I hate states, a democratic state that proportionally represents all people in its territory has more right to exist than other states. Palesinians can’t vote so Israel has less right to exist than some other states.
Democracy doesn’t need a state. If you hate states, then you shouldn’t defend them tbh. They are inherently anti-democratic in the way they arbitrarily decide who is and isn’t part of the represented group (e.g. by borders)
I don’t disagree but I think you are missing the point.
It shouldn’t be legal to say Israel doesn’t have a right to exist. People should be allowed to voice an option freely without fear of harm.
Yeah and historic context is important. In Germany it is also illegal to say that the Holocaust didn’t happen and that’s a good thing.
