“Few predicted that blaming Israel and the Jews who support it would flare up in the early 21st century (and in America of all places, where there are nearly as many Jews as there are in Israel). After all, Israel is the only consensual society in the Middle East. It holds regular elections and maintains tripartite judicial, executive, and legislative checks and balances. Free speech is found in the Middle East only in Israel, where religious apostasy, criticism of one’s own country, gender equity, and tolerance of gays are guaranteed in marked contrast to all its neighbors.” [editor’s note: Israel holds regular elections from which unwelcome parties and voters are banned, has government censorship of all media bearing on “national security,” and doesn’t allow, among other things, interfaith marriage. The difference between it and the more “moderate” Arab states is that it supposedly caters to a different ethnic group – TLK] (05/12/26)
