I wish the Holy Land was a safe haven for all three Abrahamic faiths, and no one religion was armed with lethal weaponry and reasons to target, harass and hurt "'others". I firmly oppose segregation and apartheid.... I wish the Holy Land was fully free for ALL the people, all families, all children, regardless of religion affiliations.

For secular and democratic reasons, I have a real problem with Israel's "right to exist" because Israel today is an investment in institutionalized bigotry and injustice- a concrete wall of hate and a continued war on the Palestinians basic human rights, including but not limited to the Palestinian refugees inalienable legal and sacred right to return to original homes and lands.. Why are we asking the harshly oppressed, vilified, divided, impoverished and imprisoned Palestinians to endorse that?!!

Why not start peace in the region by disarming all religion and radical extremists, including Jewish 'settlers'. Why not encourage the rule of far and just laws and policies allowing true freedom and real democracy to shape a just and lasting peace with prosperity and security for all on secular grounds.

Your question about Israel's "right to exist" is interesting and the cause of a great amount of suffering on all sides. IT DOES EXIST. IT WILL EXIST. When this is accepted, then the way it looks on a map can be decided through discussion and mediation.
In other words, stop asking questions that have already been answered and start working on how the borders should look. On May 11, 1949, the UN recognized Israel. THAT IS REALITY
