    I think the acceptance of isreals right to exist is requirement to get citizenship here. So answering ‘no’ can have real consequences if you ever should seek asylum + citizenship

      That’s absurd and that’s even more of a reason why why existing citizens should refuse and delegitimize the question.

        Let’s just say it’s part of the ‘never again’ heritage. Anyway i can work with just agreeing to keep the map how it is and not start wars to change it.

          The problem is that Israel is not happy to keep the map how it is. Israel has continuously pushed to occupy more and more territory — not just Palestinian territory, but in Syria and Lebanon too. This is part of why “does Israel have a right to exist?” is such a loaded question when it’s asked to people who oppose Israel’s unrelenting militarism

          What “never again” heritage? They’re shooting children in bread lines and then telling you you’re the bad guy for finding that to be evil.

          Which map exactly do you have in mind buddy?

          And let’s just also say that the “never again” heritage is not the property of any one ethnic group, but of all humanity. Never again for anyone.

            Internationally accepted borders. Not including illegal annexed territory.

            I too have problems with our interpretation of never again.
