Everybody spits at Israel

Look around the news. Israel is everywhere. Apparently, the world can't stop talking about Israel.

When it comes to Israel, however, you don't see 'happy talk'. You don't see writers, political leaders, politicians and others saying nice things about this, the world's only Jewish state.

You don't see people celebrating Israel. Instead, you get a parade of people rejecting, attacking, demonizing and criminalizing Israel. People even try to deny Israel's right to exist.

Israel is the country people love to hate. Here's a tiny sample of what the world has been saying about Israel:

-The EU won't recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital (here).

-Egypt says Israel undermines Middle East peace (here).

-Al Qaeda announces Tel Aviv (like Jerusalem) is Muslim (here).

-Global public opinion is more sympathetic to the Palestinian Cause than to Israel (here).

-Iran declares that Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a liar (here).

-Israel is the world's most fascist, racist state (here).

-Does Israel in the Bible really mean Israel? (here)  .

-Israel's new Nation-State law is 'a clear form of Apartheid' (here).

-Israel is the world's 'bad boy' who can't stop abusing innocent Palestinians--or its own democracy (here).

-Israel is dragging the United States into World War Three (here).

-Israel's international reputation is garbage; it could easily provoke a Harvard Business Review case called, 'The Great Global Squander' (here).

When you read stuff like this, no one could blame you for thinking that Israel has got to be the world's worst international Public Enemy Number One. Actually, you don't have to draw such a conclusion: the United Nations has already done that for you. So far as the UN is concerned, Israel is the world's worst human rights abuser (here, here). 

Then, there's the rest of Israel. Its Shekel is the world's worst currency (here). Its traffic congestion is the worst in the West (here); its airline is the worst, etc, etc. 

Muslims spit on Israel. Europeans  spit on Israel. An increasing number of Americans spit on Israel.

Jews spit on Israel. Jews who say they're Jewish but aren't spit on Israel. Even Jews living in Israel spit on Israel.  

As you might imagine, Israel is one of the world's most hated countries. Even when it doesn't make a top-ten-most-disliked-countries list, it gets an honorary mention (here)--as the country that "kills thousands in the name of Judaism" (ibid). 

Is that Israel's problem--it supposedly kills in the name of Judaism? Is that why everybody spits on Israel, because they believe that Judaism makes Israel evil (here)?


Don't believe it. 

Instead, this is what you should know: after decades of being spat upon, hated and demonized, Israel has become one of the most successful nations in the world--economically sound, innovative, inventive--and free. In a Middle East characterized by failure, tyranny and murder, Israel stands alone as the only Free country in the region. 

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?  The more people spit at Israel, the stronger Israel gets.
