There are a great many people in the world who, even after Auschwitz, just can't bear the Jewish state having the same rights they so readily grant to other nations. These voices insist Israel must take risks they would never dare ask of any other nation-state -- risks that threaten its very survival -- because they don't believe Israel should exist in the first place.
Just look at the spate of attacks this week on Jews and Jewish institutions around the world: a car ramming into a synagogue in France; a Chabad menorah and Jewish-owned shops sprayed with swastikas in Belgium; a banner at an Australian rally demanding "clean the earth from dirty Zionists!"; demonstrators in the Netherlands chanting "Gas the Jews"; and in Florida, protestors demanding Jews "Go back to the ovens!"
Read the whole thing here at the Wall Street Journal.
Why is the world unwilling to afford Israel the same right to self-defense as it affords all other nations?

Because the god of this world hates the LORD's chosen.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (II Corinthians 4:3-4)
The god of this world is the Devil, and the world follows after him.
I know the Jews and Israel are out of the will of God, but the LORD is working to bring them back, and will accomplish His work.
They are still, "beloved for the father's sakes. (Romans 11:28b)
because the Jews are few and usually peacable to a fault (really, a fault),and it is safer than attacking others who would kill over such egregious behavior.
