Again. What country wouldn't do this in similar circumstances. Where is the historical precedent that suggests Israel is doing anything atypical? This is a serious question. If you can actually provide an example that would be great.
In the modern world today you could go down a list and name 30 countries that have worse human rights abuses than Israel. And none of us give a shit about any of them. Why is that? Why such a hard on for Israel? At least FPS has a stated reason, the Jews are an evil force that is secretly running the world that must be stopped at all costs (I am paraphrasing but I am sure you get the gist of it).
Most of the Jews in Israel are 2nd-4th generation refugees from Europe, Russia and the Middle East. Why in the world do we hold them to higher standards than we would anyone else in the history of the world.
Did we decide that 3rd generation descendants of Jewish refugees are the pinnacle of mankind and as such should be held to higher standards than any other group of humans that has ever lived? If that is your argument, than that is fine. But if you are trying to argue that Israel is doing anything especially heinous or unusual given their circumstances than you don't have a very good perspective of how the world and human societies operate, both historically and today.
