I just picked the first thing that popped into my head. I could have said something about Pakistanis vs. Indians, Greek Cypriots vs. Turkish Cypriots, Tutsis vs. Hutus or some other racial, ethnic or religious hatred. Since Palestinian leaders in the past have declared their intent to destroy Israel, it just seemed the most appropriate argument to insert.

Are we going to argue about whether Israel and Israelis have a right to exist? Again, I assert that we are all talking animals and the survival of the fittest applies first and foremost to us. Whether one is American, Palestinian, Israeli or whatever, we all compete in some way to exist and survive.

No person, race or religion is GUARANTEED the right to exist and all persons have a right (and the genetic programming) to survive in the best way they can. Since when did morality ever play a part in survival?
