brewcrewer, is it possible please for you to flesh out your recent undo of my edits on the "right to exist" page.
Hi there - thanks for your comments on my talk page regarding the ] article. You will see that I am engaged with a discussion of the issue on the talk page of that article both and - please engage in that discussion rather than reverting the changes I made without discussing first.

"right to exist" is the title of the page so it not a banned phrase ! why is the phrase "right to exist" allowed wrt Israel but not Palestine when clearly the facts are (you mention facts) Danon and Bennett do reject Palestine's right to exist. Can you please put your argument on the talk section that seems to deal with this.

No, really, what was your justification for removing that content but not most of the rest of the article? I'm sure you didn't mean to remove content just because it suggests that Israel isn't perfect, so I'm assuming your failure to remove, say, the parts of your "Middle East" section that don't use the word "race" is an oversight.
