Jonathan Cook argues no state has a 'right' to exist
Original: “No state has a ‘right’ to exist – least of all an apartheid, genocidal state like Israel” by Jonathan Cook on Substack
Jonathan Cook, a British journalist writing on Substack, has published an essay arguing that no state possesses an inherent 'right' to exist, applying that argument specifically to Israel, which he describes as an apartheid and genocidal state. The piece references a Greens motion declaring 'Zionism is...' and is being shared and discussed across pro-Palestine online communities, where it has drawn engagement from users debating the legal and moral framing of statehood.
Why now: The essay's provocative argument about Israel's legitimacy is circulating amid ongoing debate over the Gaza war and anti-Zionist political motions.
