Just saw an article about another poll that shows that our friends in Europe do indeed hate Israel (I'm being careful not to say Jews). According to a poll taken of European residents, 59% of respondents said that Israel is the biggest threat to world peace. I don't know whether to be upset or proud that a little country of 6 million, 20% or so which is not even Jewish can create such a fearsome image in the world.
That doesn't mean they're anti-Semitic or biased you say? OK. What exactly makes a country the "biggest" threat to world peace. Support of terrorism against innocent victims? I think the that supporters of radical Islam win that contest hands down (see 9/11, Bali, African embassy bombings, etc.). How about massive military might and visible placement of nuclear missiles? I don't think Israel is quite on par with the US, Russia, China or NATO in general to name a few.
What singles Israel out then as the worst of the worst? Could it be bias?
The fact is that Israel has had to spend most of it's 50+ years taking in millions of immigrants from the rest of the world because everyone treats the Jews like crap. And then that same world community turns around and says that Israelis are horrible because they don't lay down their arms and die, or better yet just go away. As my grandpa used to say----feh!
