What should we tell the "Israel has no right to exist" crowd?

Dear Dr Pipes,

I am in favor of blunt, honest, firm and polite criticism of Islam when it fails to meet our modern standards. So what should be non-Muslim's answer to those who say the the "Israel has no right to exist" crowd? It should not be too difficult. The right answer is that violence-loving, land-grabbing, and exclusionary Islam has no right to exist. Once we repeat this answer 10 Billion times (roughly five times for each Muslim), it will become clear.

And, as long as we do not speak the firm but polite truth about Islam, the selfish Islamic tendencies will not subside.
