"Russia is violating Human rights so Israel should be allowed to."

You obviously didn't read the same article or are lying again. This is what it said:

"Last week a big chunk of the world sat glued to their TVs following the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Not a single country, or any individual athletes, chose to boycott the event. Even though we all know, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the most atrocious human rights violations are taking place on a daily basis in that country.

So. While LGBT-activists were being abducted, raped and beaten in Russia, political activists around the world choose to focus their energy and resources on demonizing the one country in the Middle East where gay people can live freely, safely and openly?"

As is obvious to anyone with minimal comprehension he is pointing out that Israel, unlike Russia, is NOT violating human rights yet it is being vilified while other states that are, in fact egregiously violating human rights are ignored. But you knew that, didn't you?
