It’s truly amazing that Israel is so much criticized, despite being the only Democracy in the Middle East, and despite having so many more merciful laws concerning minorities than its neighboring countries. Mainstream media is very one-sided in its reports (particularly in Europe, and particularly in Sweden) and just about always attribute the blame for the Middle East problems on Israel. How would we behave if our neighboring countries could not be trusted, and if we constantly lived in fear of getting bombed when sitting on a bus or going shopping in a mall? Building the fences and the walls have saved lives (Jews and Arabs), but mainstream media seldom makes any mention of that.
