Israel has become too successful for the left

 Andrea Widburg:

Following the Holocaust, many in the world understood that Jews, the ongoing victims of the world's oldest hatred, needed a safe haven where they would be masters of their own destiny.  That haven was Israel, a land acquired through an unbroken four-thousand-year history, purchase, and gift, and, eventually, through attacks against them, the spoils of war.  For many years, American support for Israel was consistent across the political spectrum.  However, as Israel became associated too strongly with America during the Cold War, the left turned against her — and now leftists, including those in the Biden administration, are increasingly open about their animosity.

A couple of days ago, The Washington Free Beacon revealed that the Biden administration is offering almost $1 million in taxpayer money to whatever groups can dig up dirt on Israel....

...

Additionally, the disastrous agreement Biden is desperate to sign with Iran will only put Israel at even greater risk.

And then there's Amnesty International.  A month ago, AI issued a report accusing Israel, the only nation in the Middle East that has freedom of worship and civil rights for all legal residents, of being an "apartheid" nation.  Presumably, Muslim nations avoid this designation because they don't segregate other faiths; they expel them or slaughter them.

On Wednesday, A.I.'s director finally revealed the reason for the hostility behind this nonsensical, biased report: he doesn't think Israel should exist.

...

Israel's coalition government under Naftali Bennett is only slowly coming to grips with the fact that, while Israel once had a president in the White House who was truly bringing peace to the Middle East via the Abraham Accords, they now have a president who, even without leftists whispering in his ear, would love to see Israel erased as a Jewish state. 

The apartheid designation is absurd.  There are more Arabs and Muslims within Israel than there are Jews in the rest of the Middle East countries.  The non-Jewish citizens even serve in the Israeli military and have government positions too. If you are looking for apartheid in the area, trying finding Jews in Gaza.
