You called it illegitimate... So what else could you be calling for but its dissolution and destruction??

Israel is a legitimate state, if only because it possesses the capability to defend that legitimacy and anyone who seriously tries to challenge it.

The same with the US, and any other state who possesses the same capability.

There is no Palestinian state, and never has been one.. If they can manage to create and defend one, then they too will become a legitimate state, no matter if I want to accept that fact or not.

And if the Israelis prevent the Palestinians from having an actual state, and relegate them to a autonomous entity within the borders of Israel?? Well, that's legitimate as well...

It's all in how you define your terms...
