The facts are there and well presented. But the conclusion is weak. At least IMHO. So I’m still looking for the answer to the basic question posed by the article: What is so darn special about Israel defending itself from aggression?

[Flintlock]

This is not at all hard to explain:

IT IS ALL FINANCED WITH SAUDI OIL MONEY!

Next question?

It’s the same way so-called “atheists” go out of their way to over-the-top bash Christianity and the Jews, but magically have no complaints about Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Taoism, or any number of tribal religions.

It isn’t a genuine conviction. It’s political expediency.

What’s with this five hour ceasefire bit?

Israel is a force for good in the world.

Bad people hate them.

They hate them BECAUSE they’re good.

It’s not much more complicated than that...

Anyone possessed of a critical faculty must at some point have wondered why there’s such a double standard in relation to Israeli militarism

I admit I never thought of it too much after learning about WW2. It speaks for itself, although I never will understand the vitriol of Jew haters. It's like they're unhuman.

Because the very existence of Israel proves that only two religions in the world could possibly be true: Judaism, and the form of Christianity that admits that the Jews are still God's chosen people. To the Muslim, the Sikh, as well as (in the West particularly) the atheist, the agnostic, the New Ager, the Hindu, the neo-pagan, the Luciferian, the Buddhist, the Shintoist, the animist, the shaman, the practitioner of Voodun, and the supracessionist Christian, the very existance of Israel is an intolerable reminder that there is an Eternal God who plainly stated thousands of years ago that He would bring Israel back into the Land where He has placed His holy name . . .

. . . and that when He did, the time would be short for His final judgment on all mankind.
