In particular this part:
Quote:
1. Affirms that the fulfilment of Charter principles requires the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East which should include the application of both the following principles:
Quote:
(ii) Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgement of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force;

Nice selective citing. You failed to include the first principle that goes hand in hand with the second that you mentioned:
(i) Withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict;

You should also read the UN Charter, particularly this part of Article 2:
Quote:
4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.

So Israel does have the right to exist under international law.
Try reading United Nations General Assembly Resolution 237 in light of the UN Charter article that you cite regarding "inconsistencies with the Purposes of the United Nations":
1. Calls upon the Government of Israel to ensure the safety, welfare and security of the inhabitants of the areas where military operations have taken place and to facilitate the return of those inhabitants who have fled the areas since the outbreak of hostilities ;
This was written in light of the Fourth Geneva Convention, Article 49: Deportations, transfers, evacuations:
Article 49. Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.
Given the fact that Israel bases its very existence on these travesties, Israel does not have the right to exist.
You are ignorant of the more recent genetic studies, this from 2013:
Quote:A substantial prehistoric European ancestry amongst Ashkenazi maternal lineages
Abstract
The origins of Ashkenazi Jews remain highly controversial. Like Judaism, mitochondrial DNA is passed along the maternal line. Its variation in the Ashkenazim is highly distinctive, with four major and numerous minor founders. However, due to their rarity in the general population, these founders have been difficult to trace to a source. Here we show that all four major founders, ~40% of Ashkenazi mtDNA variation, have ancestry in prehistoric Europe, rather than the Near East or Caucasus. Furthermore, most of the remaining minor founders share a similar deep European ancestry. Thus the great majority of Ashkenazi maternal lineages were not brought from the Levant, as commonly supposed, nor recruited in the Caucasus, as sometimes suggested, but assimilated within Europe. These results point to a significant role for the conversion of women in the formation of Ashkenazi communities, and provide the foundation for a detailed reconstruction of Ashkenazi genealogical history.

And no, "Land for Peace" does not ask Israel to give up land to someone who refuses to make peace. If Israel will never see peace, then Palestinians will never be given any land outside the Gaza Strip.
Get it straight. It's not about "Land for Peace" it's about the Zionists complying with their obligations in regard to the Palestinians Right of Return. Without it the Zionists will never see the peace they claim to desire.

Calling them Gazans is no delusion if the Gaza Strip is the only land that they will ever have.
What's delusional is your scenario.
