Palestine doesn’t have an obligation to exist then and neither does any Islamist country

True, but they have more justification to exist than Israel due to the way Israel was established and exists as both an apartheid and ethnostate. It would beneficial for specifically Israel to dissolve, and it would bring more peace to the middle east

How would the dissolution of Israel bring more peace to the Middle East?

Absence of a hostile terrorist state would definitely be beneficial. Zionism has always been a hostile ideology.

I guess I should give you the benefit of the doubt for not knowing history of zionism. My bad

If states don't have rights in the sense we commonly understand them to, then any use of force not in imminent self-defense of the individual or immediate bystanders becomes illegitimate. Ukraine shooting down Russian drones would be illegitimate. Iran and Israel doing likewise or destroying each other's rockets would be too. Even multilateral action against terrorists or paramilitary groups would be wrong. Do you see why that outlook might be an issue?

There is nothing that is obligating a state to exist. States have disappeared before. But there is international legislation allowing for states to defend themselves. I don’t understand what you’re getting at here
