Explain to me why Israel is continuously held to a higher standard than other countries who commit the most blatant human rights violations.

Explain why, during the last Toronto Gay Pride Parade, a group called "Queers against Apartied" protested Israel, despite the fact that Tel Aviv has the regions only gay pride parade.

Explain why, if certain people simply disagree with Israel's policies, they then claim that Jews control the world media

Explain why conspiracy theorists, known to "disagree" with Israel, claim all American Jews were in on the plot to destroy the Worlds Trade Centres.

Explain why have groups such as the Aryan Nations, known to hate Jews, also hate Israel.

The only in vogue antisemitism now is to criticize Israel.
