Israel's crime

Jennifer Rubin at Contentions looks at the real reason protesters are protesting at Israeli embassies around the world.

For those who fret endlessly about self-determination and civilian harm, the vitriol only flows one way. One might attribute their pleas for restraint and a return to the non-existent peace process as naiveté. But at some point the facts become too difficult to ignore. The aim of the selective critics becomes clear: Israel simply can’t, in their scheme of things, be allowed to defend itself.

For the protesters, Israel simply doesn't have the right to behave as any real country would, because they don't believe Israel has the right to exist.
