But at the same time, a scientifically minded person might say that's a bunch of "post-modern mental masturbation". Because in the current context, it means recognition of a right to live in peace and security with its neighbours. And in that context I support both their "rights to exist".
there is no way of negotiating with someone if they do not recognise your right to exist, period.
