When Robin Cook became Foreign Minister in Blair's government, he did have the honesty and integrity to criticise Israel's conduct. Israel pulled its strings at the White House which in turn pulled its strings with the puppet Blair, and guess what? Cook was moved to another job! Sadly he's dead now.
When United Nations Resolutions are passed against countries that illegally invade the territory of others, then it maks sense for pressure to be applied to make them leave.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait and Iraq refused to leave (thus contravening a United Nations Resolution for a few months) the country was bombed to smithereens, suffered brutal armed invasions twice and hundreds of thousands were killed. The President was even subject to a show trial before he was hanged
Israel has been in contravention of not one but TWO United Nations Resolutions for the illegal invasion and brutal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza for FORTY YEARS. They routinely murder people they don't like! It's like Nazi Germany, Stalin's Russia and Apartheit South Africa rolled into one.
When are the Americans going to start bombing these ruthless invaders into submission?
NB, Arabs are Semites too you know. That makes the state of Israel anti-Semitic for murdering so many of them.

Because Israel was created by the UN (US, UK) for a reason. They are protected by these nations for a reason. That reason is to have a powerful ally in the middle east. Israel was created in the region with huge muslim opposition. After the terrible destruction of life and land after world war 2 you have to question the UN's decision to create Israel where they did knowing full well there would be retaliation for creating this Jewish state where muslims had been living for hundreds of years. The creation of Israel was of great strategic importance to the US which is why Truman pledged his support just 11 minutes after Israel's inception. He knew how important it would be to have a strong ally in that part of the world even back then.

Israel is like Clinton for the Republicans, everything is blamed on it. It has been the stepchild of all nations regularly fighting off people who have vowed to push it into the sea.
Its not immune, it just isn't interested. They go to peace meetings, while suicide bombers are sent into markets, they give back territory they won fair and square, they put up with rocket attacks next to nursery schools. We all know they have the capability to wipe Gaza off the map, but they let it fester.
In the meantime they are the most stable government there.
Its not that Israel does something scary to the US and UK, its that they just don't give much of a darn. They have heard it all before and they are a people with no place else to go.

thrilling attitude. i think all of us get slightly protective of what we carry expensive. think of of it this manner how might you experience if an somebody different than a kin member have been to criticize say your mom and oh by employing the way do it in an extremely impolite way. My wager is you will possibly ask questions like: How is this your corporation? Why are you so impolite? Why can no longer you be slightly greater purpose on your grievance? perhaps you will desire to concentration on fixing your own kin first? additionally it is not any longer continuously what's declared yet the way it is declared, and the fact that it many times comes with a geared up in biases. basically slightly distinctive attitude from an previous (and probably slightly protective American)

Probably because many of the greatest inventions have come from Israel. Like your cell phone? Thank Israel. Many of the products you see on the market are there thanks to Israel.
Now Israel and the english speaking world have a great relationship. This my be what you are refering to. Oh and Israel isnt immune to criticism. Its just that it is very rarely directed at them.

I totally agree with you. I dont know why they are afraid of Israel. In my view, they deserve alot of criticism for the way they have treated palestians for years.

Yes, this is Israel that has ignored more UN resolutions than Saddam did and yet still haven't been invaded! This is Israel that has suspected WMDs and would use them and still hasn't been invaded. ut this is also the Jewish state and the US and Britain have too many banks and financial institutions controlled by Jews to risk pissing them off.

Israel is a small country in the most dangerous part of the world you can imagin. When you have enemies all around you that want you destroyed that not a good place to be. Israel is also a lone democracy in the area. The US and GB are friends of Isael. Do you critisize your friends as quickly as those who are not. They are not for a reason.

Since when have the anti semites in either government stopped criticizing Israel?
People tend not to attack their allies and friends. Unless their name is Barrack Obama
