I said Israel's existence was never in question, and that the meme is used by people looking for justification for Israel's abuses. Which you seem to agree with:

but it's being used by extremists in Israeli gov't to 'justify' their abuses.

I also suggested finding an actual reason for Israel to have your support, since "existence" is nonsensical.

Not sure why you needed to be so hostile with someone you're agreeing with.
