Ler quem sabe - David Horowitz

“Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East that elects its leaders

in free elections and guarantees rights to its citizens, and honors

those rights. Yet Israel is the target of those who claim to be fighting

for “human rights.” There are about a million and a half Arabs living

as citizens in Israel who elect representatives to Israel’s parliament

and who have more rights than the Arab citizens of any Arab state.

Yet Israel is the target of those who claim to be fighting for “social

justice.” Israel’s very creation is referred to by its Arab enemies as "the

Nakba", or the “catastrophe,” the clear implication of which is that

Israel should not exist. Yet Israel is the target of those who claim to

support self-determination and oppose genocide. Israel was the victim

– at its very birth -- of an unprovoked aggression by five Arab monarchies

and dictatorships. It has been the target of an Arab war that

has continued uninterruptedly for nearly sixty years because the Arab

states have refused to make peace. Yet Israel is the target of those who

say they want “peace.” Israel is the victim of terrorist attacks – suicide

bombings – which along with the Jews they mark for extinction,

kill Palestinian women and children as well. Yet Israel is the target of

those who claim to speak for humanity and a future that is “free.”

How is this possible? How can evil be dressed in the garments of

justice? How can a genocidal war to destroy a democratic people be

justified as a struggle for “national liberation?””
