...political map of the Middle East that is color-coded according to levels of democracy and autocracy. That tiny blue patch of Israel hemmed in by shades of purple will show that the war against the Jewish State is simultaneously a war against the only democracy in the Arab part of the region. Any criticism of Israeli democracy within the context of Middle East politics is subject to strict comparative standards, or else it is merely an excuse for delegitimating the Jewish people...
...also useful to keep on hand a chart of the population statistics to register the preposterous imbalance of the so-called Arab-Israel conflict. There are presently about 13 million Jews in the world, four or five million fewer than there were in 1939, while there are over 250 million Arabs with ties to over a billion Muslims worldwide.

To wish that it never existed, or would cease to exist, is to wish to destroy the Jews.” This syllogism should be borne in mind by those who help to prosecute the Arab war against the homeland of the Jewish people, for unlike Christianity and Islam, the Jews claim only a single land, and that one of the smallest on the globe...
