It has as much right as any other nation to exist -- no more, no less. That
right does not however include the right to behave as if Israel and its
population are superior to other nations and other people.

Note that Israel has always held that *they* had a right to have a country
of their own in the Middle East, and thought it wonderful that other
countries had to give up land for that, but also always denied that very
same right to the Palestinians.
