Then you must explain why both the League of Nations and the United Nations endorsed the creation of the Jewish State, and why Israel often chooses to return captured land to the Arabs in exchange for recognition and normalization, or even nothing at all.
The majority of Israel is comprised of Jews from all four corners of the world, but at least 20% of the Israeli population is Arab. Arabs have definite civil rights under a nation that follows the rule-of-law. Arab states tolerate few if any Jews and only one or two tolerate Zionists, and most are rule-by-law dictatorships. So compared to them Israel is a vast improvement in the human condition.

Solomon, let me say that I do not oppose the existence of Israel
But let me ask you a question regarding Israel's own compliance to UN resolutions:
Don't you think its hypocritical to justify Israel's existence vis-a-vis UN resolutions when Israel itself will not return to the Pre-1967 borders?
I consider it a moot point
If Israel wanted peace, and normalization of relationships with the Arab/Muslim world they would negotiate on the Saudi Peace Plan. I did not say accept, but negotiate on.
But Israel wants land, and among certain influential Zionist circles, including the World Jewish Council, Israel should be endowed with all lands contained in Biblical Israel.
Why? Demographics
Its a huge problem in Israel, Israeli Arab have higher birth rates and Jewish authorities are concerned. Ariel Sharon thought it only appropriate that a Jewish give birth to at least 4 children, he considered it a duty.
However, as regards to racism/human rights abuses, second class citizenship:
Just because they do as such does not negate anything Israel does, or vice versa, to each his sins. Its simply not relevant to this discussion
As for vast improvement, in terms of civil liberties, yes
but these lands are still developing.
Democratic changes need awareness of due rights, it isnt a simple process.
P.S. The US enables these dictatorships to exist, and supports their monopoly of power, history proves this, Iran is a classic example
