Johann wrote an article that pretty much encapsulates my attitude to Israel, Jews and why the misdeeds of Israel are not any sort of exscuse for a) either hating all jews or b) generally ignoring far worse misdeeds elsewhere. There is one clear error of fact - he says Zionism started post WW2 - which he does acknowledge in the comments while making a reasonable justification for his statement) but other than that I have really nothing to complain about. So go read it - NOW.
You may omit the comments which don't seem to add much to the main point except for one threadlet that wonders why there is so much more British coverage of events in Jerusalem compared to events in (say) Johannesburg. One reason for that certainly could be anti-semitism, but I suspect it is more a case of a positive feedback loop inside news organizations who keep on scratching the same itch because its cheaper to keep the resources already in place than figure out where else they should go to get the same gore factornewsworthy stories. I have no doubt that the loop is helped by the fact that Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and so on are full of pleasant hotels and restaurants within easy commuting distance of the news frontlines. In Darfur or Congo to pick some places totally not at random there is a distinct lack of 5* hotels, high-speed internet access and all other mod cons within 20 miles or so of where the news is occuring. Actually the news location in these places is so much greater than it is in Israel that a journalist would really have to travel a bit to cover what went on.
