Everything About Israel

Beware the critic who makes everything about Israel. He argues in some posts that Israel enabled Assad. In other posts, he argues Israel caused his downfall. He argues Israel causes all the chaos in the Middle East as a colonial power. Yet, silence on Turkey and Russia, who are also colonial powers and the major players in this Syria thing. It's very odd. What is unique about Israel? The Jews will say these arguments are antisemitic. Too easy. I think it's actually he expects Russia and Turkey to flex because they are big, historically powerful countries. Israel is small. And I think somewhere in this is the root of the some folks revulsion at Israel. How dare this little country act out of place. Don't they know they could be crushed like an ant? And Israel dares to say - no. We won't be crushed and we will do whatever it takes not to be crushed.
