Brendan O’Neill on the singling out of Israel for Leftist opprobrium
27 Nov 2018 Leave a comment
This well-argued Spectator piece by Brendan O’Neill is behind a paywall, but I’ve put some excerpts from it below. His argument, with which I happen to agree, is that the singling out of Israel among all states for special opprobrium by the Left reflects anti-Semitism constantly disguised with the euphemism “anti-Zionism.” As you’ll see in the excerpts below, O’Neill answers some Leftist arguments for why Israel deserves to be singled out, and, at the end, he argues that the hysterical anti-Israel sentiment of the Left may be responsible for the rise in anti-Semitism in the West.
Some excerpts:
Airbnb has taken the extraordinary decision to stop advertising homes for rent in Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

What a week it has been in the Courts.
A 14 year old was sentenced for murder. A recidivist drink driver was sentenced to home detention. A 39 year old woman was sentenced for a brutal and violent home invasion. All crimes committed against more innocent victims!
Without exception in all of these cases, justice has not been done! Our Justice System has once again failed the Victims.
Gavin Hawthorn was sentenced on his 12th drink driving charge. He received a pitiful sentence of 6 months home detention, 180 hours community service and disqualified from holding or obtaining a license for 2 years.
Hawthorn has a long history of horrendous offending. He has more than 60 prior convictions including burglary, assault and disorderly behaviour. But the worst offences, and something vitally important is that he is responsible for the death of 4 innocent victims.
