Good. Only ~215 countries to go. No one should have normal interactions with Israel or anyone who supports Israel.

Communication breakdowns and bargaining friction is how wars start.

Being able to talk to a government is a far cry from supporting it or agreeing with it. Even if you dislike Israel, you should want there to be diplomatic relations - that is how other countries can exert influence and attempt to steer them off more radical courses, after all.

Case in point - if the West had no diplomacy with them, then the opening of the border crossing into Egypt would never have happened.

Counter example: America doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
