Israel has to become something. It can't stay the way it is.

Allowing it to become Palestine again is just the compromise position.

Good point. Still, "not having the right to exist" sounds to me -- and more importantly, to those undecided on the issue -- like it's encouraging the destruction of the things that are in Israel, not the entity of Israel itself. Which is obviously not a take that's likely to attract support.

That's why I say it has a right to become Palestine. It will still exist, sort of, but in a revolutionary new form.

And Israelis can become Palestinians.

Assuming they aren't just settlers that moved there recently to steal land, of course.
