Israel has a right to exist.

Israel does NOT have a right to continued existence as a hyper-militarized, nuclear-armed state because it has proven time and again that is does not use those weapons responsibly.

Moreover, a generation and more of hypermilitarization has not made Israelis safer but has heightened their internal sense of paranoia, even as it has created an atmosphere of fear of Israeli belligerence in the entire region.

Israel has tried militarization and it has failed repeatedly.
Attempting the same thing -- only moreso -- and expecting a different outcome is irrational.

Time to try something different.
Israel must be disarmed.
