Why single out Israel for your anger when they are treated much worse next door?

We single out Israel in this context because you singled out Israel as some kind of besieged bastion of democracy in the region, that's why. What happens "next door" is entirely beside the point. I beat up my neighbour and give him a black eye, but that's OK because next-door-but-two the bloke gave his wife two black eyes. That is primary school playground talk, Keith. As for unfair treatment of non-Jews within Israel, here, Keith - have a little read.

There are so many examples of the mistreatment of Arabs in Israel that I don't need to sift through to provide quotes. Read it for yourself.

As for the disgraceful, racist treatment of the Bedouin in the Negev, here's another read for you.
