Israel is different +

Atlas Shrugs compares Israel to Iran. And look at the first comment.

Release the Hounds notices other anamolies, quoting from Joey Tartakovsky at Victor Davis Hanson's Private Papers:

If there wasn’t a profound cultural asymmetry not only between Israel and Palestine, but between Israel and its neighbors, how else do you explain the absence of a single group sympathetic to Israel among 300 million Arabs? Why do only 2 out of 22 Arab states diplomatically recognize Israel? Why was “I Hate Israel” a major pop hit in Egypt, while the reverse could never be true? Why do the chief imams in Saudi Arabia preach racist hatred against Jews on a weekly basis, calling them “the sons of pig and monkeys,” but chief rabbis in Israel never reciprocate? Where are the Palestinian peace marches? Is it that Palestinians have nothing to apologize for, nothing to concede, and no Israeli justice to recognize?

Riding Sun critiques a Japanese description of the Israeli-Arab conflict. (via Miss Mabrouk of Egypt.)

Mere Rhetoric points out that Dennis Ross is still in denial.

Apparently the 55 MPH speed limit is just another attempt by the white man to keep the black man down.
