Amazing that you were able to see all of this, or was that just a typo? Israel also will destroy structures owned by jews, so are you saying Israel also commits human rights abuses against jews? And political favoritism is a human rights abuse that makes Israel one of the worst in the world? And Israel is just like every other country that strangely allows religion to do what religion does yet they are the abuser? The West Bank barrier which was built to stop bombers and rockets and is a human rights abuse? Amazing that this makes them worse than all the countries starving and killing their own people. And I bet you would be the first to complain about disproportionate military action and the first to complain about a pin pointed target on a terrorist and security barriers. Just try to walk across the Canada/US border, I am sure you will have a list of abuses committed against you.
Your list is complete BS and doesn't even rank anywhere close to REAL abusers around the world.

You left off an important point...you think we should hold Israel to a standard that no other nation is held to. A perpetual state of war with assorted neighbors who abuse their citizens and brainwash them since they were children to hate Israel. Not just hate Israel, but their own neighbors. Israel does a great job in the circumstances, it is too bad the dictatorships around it continue the cycle of violence (against their own people). But sure, blame Israel.

You rational for why Israel is one of the worst human rights abusers on the planet falls far shorter than who is truly an abuser on the planet. Shame on you.
