Ten Ways That Israel Is Treated Differently [View all]

First, Israel is the only state whose capital city, Jerusalem — with which the Jewish people have been umbilically linked for more than 3,000 years — is not recognized by almost all other countries.

Second, Israel is the only UN member state whose very right to exist is under constant challenge.

Third, Israel is the only UN member state that’s been targeted for annihilation by another UN member state.

Fourth, the UN has two agencies dealing with refugees.

Fifth, Israel is the only country that has won all its major wars for survival and self-defense, yet is confronted by defeated adversaries who have insisted on dictating the terms of peace.

Sixth, Israel is the only country in the world with a separate — and permanent — agenda item, #7, at the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council.
