[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course SA is oppressive & has terrible human rights. They just earlier this year decided to let women drive cars. And that was a big deal. Women, in particular, have virtually no rights or independence in SA. [/quote]
Then why is Israel the country always criticized for human rights violations? Seems like the Arab countries are worse. From what I've seen,  Muslims living in Israel (except the occupied territories) are treated very well. I was there on a Friday, and it was wonderful to see the Muslims worshipping in Old Jerusalem, and then the Jews come out on Friday night to start their day of worship - right in the same place. All peaceful and respectful. [/quote]

Because anti-semitism is alive and while on the left as well.

Much like sexism makes us find reasons to blame/dismiss women and excuse/believe men, anti-semitism makes us look for any excuse to say the Jews are the cause of any problem that arises wherever they are.[/quote]
Please look for the thread I plan to open this afternoon, giving a full balance to the Arab-Israeli conflict and the history of the exclusion of Jews from Arab countries, dating back to 1920 and to almost 1 million Jews. I am sick of hearing people attack Israel only with no mention of the horrific treatment Jews experienced from Arab countries as they sought to rid themselves of Jews.

I seriously don't understand how and why people gang up on Israel yet make exemptions for most of the rest of the Middle East's bad behavior- If you really want to discuss lack of women's rights, gay rights, religious rights, racism, torture, brutality, barbaric behavior still going on look to SA, Afghanistan, Iran, etc. It is still the middle ages there. Yet everyone turns away and just keeps casting stones at Israel. It's so back-asswards. Of course there are 2 sides to the story and perhaps Israel has been overreaching, but just on the basis of human rights alone, the Arab world is FAR FAR behind the rest of the world. [/quote]
