Is Israel Immune from any wrong?

Israel's recent attacks against Lebanon and Syria show once again why the west's double standards towards Middle Eastern countries. If anyone wondered why Arab countries hate us and accuse us of having double standards, they need to just watch the events over the past few days. (That is assuming your not getting your information solely from Martin Himmel-Global's official cheerleader for Israel)

If Iran attacked Israel over two missing soldiers the US and all western countries would accuse Iran of state-terrorism. But when "Israeli's Defense Force" attacks it's called fighting terrorism.

The G8 appeared divided over Israel's incursion. But with opposition from Russia and France. But with over 100 dead civilians including 7 dead Canadians, there is now way leaders like Stephen Harper can applaud what Israel has just done. Today there was another 8 Israelis killed and Israel promised to step up their military effort. This is coming hours after they just killed over 100 civilians. What are they going to do next? A bigger attack against Lebanese cities or a land-based invasion? At least the G8 changed its stance and jointly wrote that Israel should seize its invasion.

If Israel doesn't listen to the G8, their immunity myth could be over. The myth that Israel is the only pure country in the Middle East surrounded by non-democratic vultures could come to an end. Israel's constant feeling on insecurity and compulsion to retaliate 10-fold for any deaths has put the whole world at risk. Israeli's actions have been used as an excuse to start international terrorist groups to attack the west. They have smeared democratic hopes in the Middle East and forced Arabic countries to rely on groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah to survive. The faster the west puts Israel on equal footing- the faster Islamic extremism will subside.
