Why Israel?

From a basically uninformed person about the Middle East conflict, such as myself, it seems mighty peculiar that all leftists, including Israeli leftists, have gathered to oppose a recent law banning boycotts of Israel, including economic, when they are verbal against embargos against other countries, which amount to the same thing. And why shouldn't the situation in Israel take into account its own historical peculiarities: nobody ever contended the borders of Cuba, even the Kennedy administration with its Bay of Pigs madness, while Lebanon is with Israel on the maritime level, but nobody rushes to arms against that fact: for that matter nobody from the veneered human rights watches or the U.N.has even mentioned Shalit, the Israeli soldier still hostage to Hamas, and it's been going on for five years while now Fatah and Al Quaeda sympathizers Hamas are allies for the creation of a state that was a colonialist fiction in prima facie? And the horror,in creating a situation in which Shalit is understood as a person who must sacrifice himself for whatever reason, instead of people everywhere, especially from the left, fighting for his right to be freed and helped. How can anyone not realize that Israel is at war against whoever shells it and what's so odd about that? No one argued after Pearl Harbor, and I'd like to see who would argue that World War Two was an unecessary war. How are those who deny your own very existence any better, let alone afflicted as they are by intense anti-Jewish hatred? Again, to a person who doesn't dwell like Alice Walker does on "occupied territories" the question seems simple: it all amounts to cumulative anti-Jewish hatred to me. So, if it means I'm not the sweetheart of a left who supports Bill Moyers (sponsor of Joseph Campbell, a Nazi sympathizer)where Jews are a plutocratic lot and easily a right who holocaust denies at best, who cares. It just sends both points of view and politics straight to hell.
