If it's any consolation, perhaps Israel receive more than its share of scrutiny and criticism in direct proportion to its receiving more than its share of aid and diplomatic concessions. Reality-based statement, Number 5. It's an ancient and obvious maxim that if I pay your rent, I have a right to scrutinize your job hunting efforts. Completely overrides the notion that to criticize Israel is to be presumed to hate Jews.

The fact that Israel receives US aid does not give anyone the right to parade their Jewhating around under the guise of "anti-Zionism" or whatever euphemism the Jewhater cares to use. The right to criticize any country is a given, but 95% of the criticism the "world community" hurls at Israel is based on anti-semitism, and there is a double-standard employed by and buckets of hypocrisy among, Israel's "critics."
