(Ha'aretz) Yoel Marcus - The very idea that the whole world is down on its knees, begging a Koran-centric organization whose goals are achieved by murdering Jews to recognize Israel's right to exist, is insulting. Israel was accepted as a member of the United Nations in 1949, the 51st country out of a total of 190. Israel maintains diplomatic relations with 170 of them. Israel is the only democracy in the world that has been fighting from the day it was born to safeguard its national security. It is infuriating when fanatic, backward countries declare that Israel, one of the most stable, progressive democracies in the world, has no right to exist. We will go on living and flourishing even without the recognition of Hamas.
