It is good that Israel has a friend in the Muslim world. As for the regime's brutality in repression, that seems to be typical unfortunately for that region. And if you are too picky about your friends, you may very well end up with none. It would be nice if democratic, tolerant Sweden was Israel's friend, while authoritarian Azerbaijan was an enemy, but that is not way things have worked out. Remember national interest usually triumphs all other concerns, except hopefully in cases of genocide like that which is ongoing in Sudan. <br /><br />PS: As for Israel's unfortunate alliance with South Africa, that only came about after most African countries broke off relations with Israel during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 due to Arab oil blackmail. It has never been proved but there has been a lot of suspicions over the years Israel did help apartheid South Africa get nuclear weapons.David Allnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-20846857917888026552014-10-29T13:17:33.395+02:002014-10-29T13:17:33.395+02:00Western left with its moral relativism can go to h...Western left with its moral relativism can go to hell, as far as I am concerned.SnoopyTheGoonhttp://simplyjews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-84345328802646208722014-10-29T13:16:51.290+02:002014-10-29T13:16:51.290+02:00And he was absolutely right!And he was absolutely right!SnoopyTheGoonhttp://simplyjews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-57849842025510736242014-10-29T13:16:31.184+02:002014-10-29T13:16:31.184+02:00Seems to be a curse, that habit.Seems to be a curse, that habit.SnoopyTheGoonhttp://simplyjews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-2107530391331959732014-10-28T21:05:25.183+02:002014-10-28T21:05:25.183+02:00She'll be a shining example of why Iranian wom...She'll be a shining example of why Iranian women must not resist rape.
