Why do people harass Israel, but not the other countries?

It is true that Israel, as the only Jewish state in the world, is the most hated country in the world, but America is also vilified quite a lot in the "international community" by many, if not most, of the same people. I happen to be a proud member of both of the world's most despised peoples - Americans and Jews. What you describe in terms of harassing Israel and not other countries that you mention is merely part of this general syndrome.

To an extent, there is still anti-semitism in the world. I don't agree with everything Israel does, but looking at all the countries in the region, Israel is by far the most progressive. Land is extremely important though in Arab culture. I support Israel, but I also sympathize with the Palestinian people, the ones who aren't resorting to violence.

But there are many types of these conflicts in the world that don't garner as much media attention. What about when the US gave the green light for Turkey to invade and occupy Christian Cyprus? Every nation on Earth recognizes this as illegal. But if I recall correctly, the USA wanted unity on the island via a number of concessions from the Greek Cypriots (the rightful residents of the island according to almost every country in the UN, including the Arab States)... but then again, president George Bush I believe refused to recognize the Armenian genocide, when the Ottoman Empire killed numerous Christians. The US sure goes to great lengths to accommodate Turkey... too bad Erdogan has turned his back on the US and is now allying himself with Iran. Who would have saw that coming?? (sarcasm)

I'm just going to give you a racist but honest answer. It's because Palestinians are whiners. And the ones who aren't whiners are terrorists.

Also, it's political correctness. Jews in America can take a joke or some criticism, but when the military or federal government bashes Islam the Muslims hold massive in-your-face protests about discrimination.

Only a Palestinian will launch a rocket that kills 36 people, then complain when Israeli soldiers burn down their house.

ok, right this is user-friendly. for the reason that Camp David, Egypt make peace with Israel, Egypt grew to alter into puppet of Israel, Mubarak does each and every little thing Israel needs, in the different case Israel will make conflict on Egypt, and Mubarak is fowl. Mubarak is the dummy of Israel, no longer Egyptian human beings. all of us love Palestine, in simple terms what's going to we do?

The Arab countries despise the Israelis because they've been fighting over Palestine forever.

Palestine was given to the Jews by the British after WW2 and Palestine claims its still theirs.

Israel shoots itself in the foot on a lot of occasions in this regard with some of the policies it pursues and how arrogant it acts, but a lot of people wouldn't like Israel anyway. I have to believe some of it is religiously based due to Israel's close connection to Jews. That definitely factors into why some of its neighbors don't like it. Let's face it these people have been fighting the better part of a couple of millenia.

Israel is about the only country in the world you could announce to the world you wanted to wipe of the face of the earth and while people wouldn't like it, nobody would do a thing about it.

One of the best posts I have ever seen on this issue. Job well done, and a star for you.

The reason the touchy-feely left doesn't bash the other countries is because their lib masters haven't told them it is politically correct to do so yet.

Because it has never been honest about wanting Peace. That simple.

I am speaking of the Israeli Government not the People.

It is time that the Palestinians and Israeli People hold hands and kick their Governments out of Office.

These People deserve to have some peaceful years in their lives.

Both are decent, good People. Their Governments are criminal Dictators.

The Left has made the Israel-Palestinian issue a wedge issue throughout the world.

Because they've been nursing at the USA's teat for the past 60 years.
