proZionism can be antiSemitic

We are frequently asked these days to confirm that the state of Israel has a “right to exist”. Well, I’m afraid that I have to say NO! No state has the right to exist because states don’t have rights. People do. And while I agree that the current citizens (and other residents) of Israel (and whatever other territories it controls) have the right to live in states of their own choosing (to whatever extent there is sufficient local agreement that that is a practicable situation), I have to admit that the original creation of Israel was (worse than) a mistake. Now mistakes cannot always be reversed, and so I am not saying that the destruction of Israel would in any way be acceptable as a solution. But the fact remains that the actions which endorsed the state of Israel were not just wrong but were motivated in part by antisemitism (or at least by capitulation to antisemitism) on the part of the leadership of those countries (especially Canada!!) which should have opened their arms to welcome any Jews who felt threatened in Europe (or anywhere else for that matter).
