Since you like apartheid comparisons. Do the whites in south Africa have a right to exist? I would say yes.
Its a question of coexistence and how that is going to look like.
But hey nice radical and easy solution to a complex problem. Kudos for going the extra mile cognitively!
Are you trying to equate the ideology of a political regime with a minority population of South Africans?
South Africa had no right to exist as an apartheid state, and Israel has no right to exist as an apartheid state.
After apartheid ended and living conditions improved, black South Africans didn't go and slaughter every white South African as retribution, so when Israel says freed Palestinians would slaughter all Israelites, why should we believe them?
If the occupation ended today and Palestinians were allowed to live fairly and given ample resources to rebuild, what reason would they have to seek further conflict? If treated fairly, why would Palestinians act any differently than the South Africans freed from apartheid? This conflict is ultimately the direct result of unfair treatment after all.
Maybe a disclaimer ahead: it's absolutely atrocious what Israel is doing in Gaza. Leveling it and probably filling it with Jews when rebuilding it. The whole thing is a 911 like overreaction and I do not support any of it.
Does not matter what some court says it is or not. That piece of land will most likely be ethnically cleansed.
At the same time saying Israel has no right to exist can mean many things from not in it's current form to all Jews in the sea. That's the problem with dumbass slogans like this.
