I'm not referring to those who criticize this or that policy of Israel. I'm referring to those who's purpose is to delegitimize Israel's right to exist. And a state which has no right to exist, by definition has no right to defend itself or any other rights. Such hatred, of course, contributes nothing constructive toward a discussion of a peaceful solution.
Why are you suggesting that disputing a state's right to exist can be motivated only by hatred? Have there never been any states that had no right to exist? Manchukuo, for instance? Or Vichy France? Or the Union of South Africa? Or Republika Srpska? Why is Israel the only country whose bona fides can't be challenged without accusations of "hatred" being unleashed?

Because Israel is a member state of the United Nations. Which other UN member states regularly have their bona fides challenged?
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, chances are it's a duck. Quack.

Going back only as far the formation of the UN: The Republic of China. The Republic of South Vietnam (defunct). The Union of South Africa (defunct). Northern Rhodesia (defunct). Southern Rhodesia (defunct). Democratic Kampuchea (defunct). The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (defunct). I'm sure there are some I could add if I had the time.
If I were permitted to add all examples of colonial domination by UN members that have been condemned by the world community, it would triple or quadruple the list. Trouble is, Israel has no home country from which it projects domination. It's a geographical and diplomatic mistake that was born, and only can exist, as a parasite.

Woof.
Nice try, but why is it that you go through a laundry list of "defunct" states, territories that were never recognized as a UN member state (northern Rhodesia) and a country who the UN does not recognize (Taiwan)? I guess it is because that is easier to do than recognize hypocrisy or worse - that Jew hatred motivates anti-Israel sentiment. We're not talking objection to the policies of the Jewish state, we're talking about objection to the existence of the Jewish state.

Taiwan was recognized until 1971, and was then booted out. The same should happen to Israel, which deserves to be a pariah much more than Taiwan.

It doesn't; that is merely a cheap and hysterical libel to silence critics, as almost anyone can tell.

So effing what? Was opposition to the existence of the Union of South Africa motivated by "anti-Afrikaans sentiment"?

"Parasite?" Quack quack indeed.
They moved in, and they stole someone else's country at gunpoint because, by their own admission, they had no other territory and they felt entitled to one. Rolling back their aggression completely demands the obsolescence of their state. If that doesn't fit the definition of "parasite" then nothing on earth does.
I doubt you've ever even been outside of Texas. LOL....funny that you can't really dispute anything I've said, you can only call names, etc. Typical illogical America hater.
Why is Israel the only country whose bona fides can't be challenged
There are about 200 countries in this world. All sorts of countries. Despotic, the worst military dictatorships, even declared by the UN to be genocidal. Of all these countries it is only Israel's right to exist that you deny. Let me ask your question with one very slight change: Why is Israel the only country whose bona fides can be challenged?
You have a sinister motivation. If it walks like a duck....

Because in most other cases, the problems are caused by (1) a tyrant or clique or ruling class from within the nation that oppresses the nation or (2) an imperial power that oppresses other nations from its home turf. Israel has no home turf; they abruptly landed on the backs of another people and yelled "MINE!" That the remedy for that historical crime requires their entire state to be abolished is therefore not a condition that applies in other cases.
If you are suggesting that those opposed to Israel are not opposed to the brutal dictatorships in Burma, North Korea, the evidently dictatorial new order in Iran, etc., I would love to know how you came to believe this.

Hmmm, "someone else's country?" You mean Great Britain's, or you must mean the Ottomans, or wait you mean the Mamluks, or wait I know, you mean the Arabians who invaded from the Arabian Peninsula in Mohammed's Blitzkrieg, or do you mean the Byzantines or the Romans, or do you mean the Jews who were ethnically cleansed by the Romans in the first century of the common era? Read that long run on sentence again and tell me which "their" the country was "stolen" from.
And here is dictionary.com's definition of "parasite" since you seem to be struggling with the word.
1. an organism that lives on or in an organism of another species, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment.
2. a person who receives support, advantage, or the like, from another or others without giving any useful or proper return, as one who lives on the hospitality of others.
3. (in ancient Greece) a person who received free meals in return for amusing or impudent conversation, flattering remarks, etc.
It is also, ironically enough, a word used for centuries in a derogatory way towards Jews. Isn't that ironic? Don't you think?
Quack.
