Ten Ways Israel is Treated Differently by the world


The never-ending mystery of it all.   One of the smallest countries in the world, with one of the smallest populations in the world (just around 8 M and almost 2 M of that is Muslim), with the most ferocious cavemen countries surrounding her, with the entire 57  cavemen countries and untold millions of brain-dead individuals from the  countries other than the cavemen countries,  hating her and her people .... if this is not a mystery, tell me what is.  Israel's population, in fact the Jewish population of the world is  less than 0.03% and  when you compare that to the 1.5 billion Muslims who are so vehemently against this nation and its people, you really have to wonder what the fucking hell is  going on with not only the cavemen but with the millions of  non-cavemen people around  the world.

The map below shows the strikes from Nov 14 - 15.

David A Harris writing at Aish.com:
.... First, Israel is the only UN member state   whose very right to exist is under constant challenge. Notwithstanding the fact that Israel was created with the imprimatur of the UN and has been a member of the world body since 1949, there is a relentless chorus of nations, institutions and individuals denying Israel's very political legitimacy. No one would dare question the right to exist of Libya, Saudi Arabia or Syria. Why is it open hunting season on Israel, as if we didn't know the answer?

Second, Israel is the only UN member state that's been publicly targeted for annihilation by another UN member state. Think about it. The Iranian president calls for wiping Israel off the map. Is there any other country that faces such an open call for genocidal destruction?


Third, Israel is the only nation whose capital city, Jerusalem, is not recognized by other nations. Imagine the absurdity of this. Foreign diplomats live in Tel Aviv while conducting virtually all their business in Jerusalem. Though no Western nation questions Israel's presence in the city's western half, where the prime minister's office, Knesset and Ministry of Foreign Affairs are located, there are no embassies there. In fact, look at listings of world cities, including places of birth in passports, and you'll often see something striking – Paris, France; Tokyo, Japan; Pretoria, South Africa; Lima, Peru; and Jerusalem, sans country – orphaned, if you will.

Fourth, the UN has two agencies that deal with refugees. One, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), focuses on all the world's refugee populations, save one. The other, the United Nations Refugee and Works Administration (UNRWA), handles only the Palestinians. But the oddity goes further than two structures and two bureaucracies. They have two different mandates. UNHCR seeks to resettle refugees; UNRWA does not. When, in 1951, John Blanford, UNRWA's director, proposed resettling up to 250,000 refugees in Arab countries, those countries refused, leading to his resignation. The message got through. No UN official since has pushed for resettlement.
Moreover, the UNRWA and UNHCR definitions of a refugee differ markedly. Whereas the UNHCR targets those who have fled their homelands, the UNRWA definition covers "the descendants of persons who became refugees in 1948," without any generational limitations.

Fifth, Israel is the only country that has won all its major wars for survival and self-defense, yet it's confronted by defeated adversaries who insist on dictating the terms of peace. In doing so, ironically, they've found support from many countries who, victorious in war, demanded -- and got – border adjustments.
Sixth, Israel is the only country that has been censured by name -- not once, but nine times -- since the new UN Human Rights Council was established in June 2006. Astonishingly, or maybe not, this UN body has failed to adopt a single resolution critical of any real human rights abuser. When finally discussing the Darfur situation, the Council shamefully balked at pointing a finger at Sudan..........

  1. Nice summary. But naturally it falls on deaf ears of the PC leftists. And I am also annoyed by various governments of the west who tolerate this one sided hatefest, pussyfooting around the obvious facts.

  2. The leaders of the West (with the exception of our PM Stephen Harper) have sold their souls to the oil and money they can procure from the Arab countries. As for the lefties, they just go with the majority of the brain-dead.... they can't fight against that heavy tide.
