"do you believe that a Jewish state of Israel has a right to exist?"

I do not see how I can answer this theoretically. Since the "existence of the state of a Jewish state of Israel" seems to go hand-in-hand with the theft of Palestinian land, with the torture and wanton murder of Palestinians who claim any kind of rights, with the exile of 75% of the population of Palestine, with the imprisonment of the remaining population, with a hostile and arrogant foreign policy that thinks nothing of marching proudly toward an apocalyptic end that could involve the whole Middle East, I do not support the "existence of the Jewish state of Israel." If the "Jewish state of Israel" can only exist under such circumstances, then, No, it does not have "the right to exist."
