Why Does No One Object to Having Eight Officially Islamic States but Apparently Cannot Tolerate One Small Jewish State? :: Gatestone Institute

The world is not just getting less safe for Jews. It is also rapidly becoming less safe for Christians, Hindus and Muslims deemed by other Muslims not Muslim enough...

• Jewish have been rooted to Israel (Zion) for nearly 4,000 years....

Israel's immediate enemy is violent extremist Islam -- particularly the brand espoused by ideological offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Qatar, Syria and Iran. Their worldview seems to be that "Islam is a faith and a ritual, a nation and a nationality, a religion and a state, spirit and deed, holy text and sword."

"To place any religion beyond criticism just because some Muslims may feel offended is to ignore, as Salman Rushdie puts it, 'the battle against fanatical Islam, which is highly organised, well-funded, and which seeks to terrify us all, Muslims as well as non-Muslims, into cowed silence'." — Quadrant,, September 16, 2025.

When the Third Reich pushed people into gas showers, or during the massacres of October 7, 2023, no one asked the victims if they were "rightist," "leftist," or "centrist." For the Jews, Christians and other "infidels," although many seem not to believe it yet, the choice is all or nothing: either survival or elimination. In this respect, Zionism – the safety of Israel – is the for persecuted Jews, the only sanctuary.


If Jews are to be criticized for defending their minute piece of real estate on Earth, so be it: they hold the moral high ground; their critics and enemies do not.
