Why the hell would you word it that way?
You sound like a bad-faith actor trying to create pro-Israel talking points
Israel does have the right to self-defense. They do not have the right to genocide. They frequently do both
Israel does not have the right to exist, so there is no right to defend it.
I mean, you could theoretically validly say that about all countries, but saying that about, say, Palestine, would evoke blanching from most of us here.
Insofar as any country has a right to defend itself, so too does Israel.
It's just that Israel has rarely acted or attempted to act in self-defense, preferring to pursue senseless and horrific genocide instead.
Israel flattened Hamss, wrecked Hezbollah and the Houthis, then went and gave Iran a beating.
Nah they cool bro, they earned the right to exist.
This is the definition of genocide. You're making it sound like you're ok with genocide as long at it's against Israelis.
Nations come and go, that’s not genocide.
