...almost makes the EU look democratic.

What has Israel done that so many nations want to wipe it off the map?

The hatred directed towards Israel is no longer restricted to Israel's immediate Arab neighbours either. Iran/Persia is not Arab, and neither is it an immediate neighbour of Israel, but the Iranian Government has a pathological and insane hatred of Israel.

Under Obama's leadership, the US Government has turned from being the prime supporter of Israel, to being Israel's greatest critic and a very real threat to Israel's existence.

Why is it that virtually the whole world believes it has the right to tell Israel how it should govern itself? Has Israel ever posed a threat to the West - to the whole world? Why does the UN, the EU, the USA, and just about every major national government on the planet believe that Israel should divide its land and hand that land over to the very people who want to wipe Israel off the map? Are there not greater threats to peace in the world than the existence of Israel?

How would the Americans react to the world telling America that it should divide up its land and invite floods of foreign threats to take up residency? America's response to the Soviets placing missiles in Cuba in the '60 gives us a clue as to the Americans would probably react.

How would Iran respond to being told to divest itself of all Islamic influences? The mere suggestion is likely to trigger a Jihad.

How would a British Government react to being instructed to divide up its land and invite every foreign agent in to live here: successive British governments simply obeyed instructions.

How would the UK Government react to being told by the UN to divest itself of all Christian influences? That one is easy to answer; successive UK Governments have very nearly succeeded in removing Christianity from Britain.
