Who is Israel's Most Powerful Enemy?
2014-08-11
According to the definition given by a kibbutznik turned billionaire, Israel is “a villa in the jungle”.

Israel is an oasis surrounded by barbarians, beheaders, suicide bombers, mothers happy to send their own children to kill Jews - Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Salafists, Hezbollah, Islamic State, Iranian revolutionary guards... The list of the jihadist scum is long.

But IsraelÂ’s most powerful enemy is the West itself.

Israel’s wars to defend itself are always the chance to see an incredible eruption of hatred in the Western democracies and their élite.

Think about what has happened in the last few days.

#4  There's also that nagging issue of 'success'. Successful economy, successful representative government, successful development of the land...
If there's anything the Left hates, it's success as it simply blames the success of one for the failures of others, rather than look into the underlying causes of those failures within the communities, which includes themselves. Someone else has to be to blame.

#3  Zorba: crudely put but true. The 50's kibbutzniks were idealized by the Marxists. As Israel distanced itself from socialism the Left turned against them.

#2  The Left is the Israel biggest enemy.

Because Israel apostasy to the Left religion.
When Israel didn't follow Moscow, worse allied itself with Great Satan and the kibbutz weren't enforced on everyone the left started to despise Israel.

Like all totalitarian religions, the apostates are worse than the infidels.
