Ten Ways Israel Is Treated Differently


Following up on my earlier post on Why Are Jews So Successful, Jeremy Jacobs of Corporate Presenter fame points me to this article in the Jerusalem Post.


i) Israel is the only UN member state whose very right to exist is under constant challenge


ii) Israel is the only UN member state that’s been publicly targeted for annihilation by another UN member state


iii) Israel is the only nation whose capital city, Jerusalem, is not recognized by other nations


iv) The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), focuses on all the world’s refugee populations, save one


v) 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


vi) 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


vii) Israel is the only country that, in violation of the spirit of the UN Charter, isn’t a full member of one of the five regional blocs


viii) Israel is the only country that’s the daily target of three UN bodies established solely to advance the Palestinian cause and to bash Israel


ix) Israel is the only country that is the target of a boycott by the British-based National Union of Journalists


x) Israel is the only country where some associated with its majority population, i.e., Jews, openly call, for political or religious reasons, to dismantle the state


Is it cos they is Jewish?


And isn't it the Left's job to stand up for the underdog?


Can you spot Israel on this map of the Middle East?
