(Haaretz) "Israel is not a tolerant society" says the U.S. State Department, who seemingly just returned from a 40 year, cranial self rectal spelunking fact-finding mission
real shaman:Quite unlike the extremely tolerant Islamic countries.
Wow. The "but...but...but the other guys are worse!" excuse right out of the gate. I expected at least a half-hearted attempt to impugn the source before someone went there.

yeah, well when one claims someone is intolerant, what should one use for a measure?

How about measuring against the person making the statement, or in this case, the person who is making the statement's country.

Good thing those Islamic countries are our allies the...oh, they're not?
Some are. Saudis being a big example. Here I think you are talking about a question of scale to commitment. I'f some sort of argument of scale comes up, let me dig up some quick stuff
Leverett plunged right into a dramatic new peace proposal floated by Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. Calling for "full normalization" in exchange for "full withdrawal" from the occupied territories, Abdullah promised to rally all the Arab nations to a final settlement with Israel. In his brand-new third-floor office at the Old Executive Office Building, a tiny room with a very high ceiling, Leverett began hammering out the details with Abdullah's foreign-policy advisor, Adel Al-Jubeir. When Ariel Sharon said that a return to the '67 borders was unacceptable, Al-Jubeir said the Saudis didn't want to be in the "real estate business" -- if the Palestinians agreed to border modifications, the Saudis could hardly refuse them. Al-Jubeir believed he had something that might actually work.
But the White House wasn't interested. Sharon already rejected it, Rice told Leverett.
At the Arab League meeting, Abdullah got every Arab state to sign his proposal in a unanimous vote.

Yeah because everyone is so tolerant of Israel. If I was Israel, I would be doing the same shiat. Almost everyone in the middle east doesn't like them, and has tried to take them over before.

They also want to operate a Jewish state, therefore building in discrimination in their social structure. It kind of started there.

what has Israel ever done for us? They're not so much our ally as a protectorate.
