I really feel sorry for those on the Israeli left. They have clearly lost their way, or if you wish, hit a brick wall at the end of a cul de sac.
They are fast running out of invented mantras. Since all their previous phony mantras, such as “disengagement,” “occupation” and “Demography,” failed to destroy Jewish presence in Judea & Samaria, they now cling to a newly fabricated mantra: “Isolation.”
ISOLATION
PM Netanyahu and his policies, so they charge, are pushing Israel towards total isolation. If Israel does not make major territorial concessions to her enemies, dismantle the settlements, retreat to the 1948 armistice lines and re-divide Jerusalem, the world will isolate Israel and boycott her as if inflicted with leprosy.
Unfortunately for them, this latest mantra is as hollow as all their preceding ones.
Quite the contrary, the more Israel intractably stands up to pressures and insists on safeguarding her national interests, the more Israel is respected and accepted by the world. Nobody admires weak losers.
In fact, the more Israel resists Secretary Kerrycature’s messianic obsessive drive to push Israel off the Judean and Samarian cliffs, the more Israel is welcomed. Actually, it seems that the USA is becoming more isolated than Israel.
Here is a short, incomplete list to prove how far Israel is from being isolated:
EU welcomes Israel, the only non-European full member of CERN, the largest European scientific project of all time.
Israel’s irrigation technologies and hi-tech are welcomed by African countries.
Cooperation with Russia, India and China are at all-time high.
Israel was invited in the open to participate in renewable energy conference in Abu Dhabi.
Large project with Jordan named “The Two Seas Canal” is getting off the ground in the south of Israel.
China is constructing the fast train from Eilat on the Red Sea to Ashdod harbor on the Mediterranean. The train will handle Suez Canal cargo overflow to Europe and Asia.
Cooperation with the new regime of General Sisi in Egypt to eradicate Sinai from extreme Islamic terrorist organizations is in full swing.
Israel participates in the WEF, World Economic Forum, in Davos Switzerland.
IDF Chief of Stuff, Lt. General Benny Gantz, is in Brussels, to participate in a NATO defense chiefs meeting.
A flood of dignitaries descended upon Israel in the last few weeks to seek cooperation and commerce and to express support.
Here is an incomplete list:
US Senators McCain (AZ), Graham (SC) and John Barrasso (Wyo) visit Israel and express skepticism about Secretary Kerry’s “peace” push.
Australia’s Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop. She correctly declares the “settlements” legal under international law.
President of France Francois Hollande
Dutch Foreign Minister opposes boycott and sanctions on Israel.
Greek Foreign Minister.
President of Romania Traian Basescu: Declares that the Palestinians must recognize Israel as a Jewish State.
The Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, vows in the Knesset to stand by Israel in fire & water.
Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel is expected in Israel next week.
Israel in far from being isolated as the Israeli left and media attempt to claim.
But let us assume for a moment that the Israeli left is indeed correct that if Israel refuses to comply with pressure, it will become isolated. So here is the question: Is the preservation of Israel not worth the price of isolation and boycott?
The Israeli left is guaranteed not to do one thing: When all their mantras are exhausted, they will still not admit they were wrong all along.
APARTHEID
Related to the stupidity of the “isolation” mantra, is the repeated claim by anti-Semites that Israel is an “Apartheid” State. This libelous accusation could not be proven more ridiculous when during Stephen Harper’s amazing speech to the Knesset, two ARAB Knesset members, supporters of “Palestinian” causes, walked out of the Knesset hall for the entire world to see. So much for “Apartheid.”
Attached, please look at the following map and decide for yourself which is the only non-Apartheid country in the Middle East.
Remember, it is Abu Mazen who demands a “Palestinian” state totally cleansed of Jews, and remember to which parliament belong the two Arabs who walked out of Harper’s speech!!!

Your Truth Provider,
Yuval.
I was recently on a web site of Jewish leftists. They are becoming more strident, more extreme and more detached from the truth. Their fanatic hatred for Israel knows no bounds. They appear to be a group of psychopaths living on another planet. It is impossible to reason with them. Other ethnic groups have their problems but none of them harbors a fringe element that advocates for the destruction of their own kind based on lies and murderous self-hatred.
