I'm sorry, but if that was the case, then at least one of the dozens of UNSC resolutions brought up against Israel, condemning its occupation and land stealing against Palestinians, would have passed. Certainly many resolutions against Iran and Iraq have. Perhaps it is those countries that are held to a higher standard than Israel?

Anyway, you've done nothing on this thread but to whitewash the events described on the article, saying they were mere "fighting" between groups who are having disagreements, when "pogrom" is a far better description of what happened. It is clear that it isn't us who are holding Israel to an unattainable position of humanity; it is you who hold Israel to a far lower standard of behavior than most other countries in the world.

Funny, so much of Israeli propaganda is to spread the image of Israel as a Western European-like liberal democracy. But as soon as Israel's flaws are mentioned, its supporters proceed to compare Israel to non-Western dictatorships.
