Well of course they rejected the illegal partition through force of their territory in 1948. This is the whole crux of the issue. For the Palestinians to recognize Israel is an acceptance of these fundamental illegalities.
What you have just posted is a great example of how the victors of conflicts spin history.
Will Israel exist in 50 years? Probably. In 100? Maybe not. The world's economic and demographic situation is changing rapidly and it may isolate the Israeli's over time. Nuclear bombs or not.
The real challenge for the Israeli's in this time is going to be justifying their existence as a productive and useful state, rather than one that just exists through dogma or force.
