The Selective Outrage of The Anti Israel Left
Israel is a single drop of water in a sea of Muslim nations. Each of which, is dedicated to the total destruction of Israel and the murder of all Jews within it's borders. This pastime of virulent Jew hatred by Middle Eastern Muslims is only interrupted by the brutal murder of other Muslims, based on centuries old Sunni and Shiite tribal differences. In other words, long before Israel came into being as a nation again in 1948—after a 2000 year Jewish
Diaspora—Muslims were slaughtering Muslims.
Today, there are 1.2 million Palestinians living in Israel, serving in their police force and military, running profitable businesses and generally thriving in what is the only true democracy in the region. Calling Israel and apartheid nation, then, is beyond silly, it's willful childishness.
Yes, Israelis protect their border stringently on the Palestinian side. Decades of suicide bombers and murderous attacks will tend to compel rational people to do that. However, Israel does not control Palestine's border with Egypt. The Egyptians do. And they are hesitant to allow mass Palestinian migration, as well.
Israel's situation as defined by the Left, then, is selective at best. At worst, it is a poison born out of a world-view so corrupt, it can only truly exist in the imagination. Unfortunately, whenever it becomes a reality, as it is in Venezuela today, in Chairman Mao's China or in the old Soviet Union it annihilates everything in it's path. But that never matters, it is belief, faith in the great cause that matters most. And no price is to big to pay for it's adherents. As long as it's paid for by somebody else.
