Those who hate Jews as individuals or as a collective have been bitterly disappointed by the failure of the “final solution” to “the Jewish problem.”
That absolute “success” was so close, but fell short, galls these people.
Imagine how gut-wrenching and sleep-depriving it is for them to witness the phoenix of The State of Israel, a modern, progressive, incredibly successful enterprise.
That’s why they obsess about Israel.
That’s why all reason and decency have fled from their hate-filled being.

NewZealand human rights activists are not all naive .
A few sound strategists and historians recognise the absolute horror of both the Syrian Regime under the Ba’ath and its barbaric opponent ISIS : and the war by Islam against Jewish escape from Genocide in Nazi occupied Europe in WW2
This is galling because New Zealand underpopulated and with vast spaces uninhabited took in a minimal number of Jewish refugees from Nazi Europe fleeing Genocide from Nazism between 1933- 1939 when emigration was possible for Jews .
However when the Empire of Japan threatened with immense cruel victories in its wars in Asia in WW2 New Zealand had 400,000 USA troops to protect it so great was its fear and weakness .
It fails to recognise that the Israel one tenth the size of New Zealand and with eight million people has critical security threats that basically places the nation in a state of peril and requires tough security choices .

Calling Israel an apartheid state insults the millions of people that suffered under that system. As a former anti apartheid activist, I can vouch that there is no resemblance between Israel and South Africa. Apartheid laws had more in common with the Nazi Nuremberg Laws of 1935. Robertson, Loach and other mindless populists lack intellectual and moral integrity, as well as the courage to stand up for genuine liberal democratic values of openness and debate. They are totalitarians posing as “human rights” advocates.Just like the hangmen of Teheran,the chemical bombers of Syria, the floggers and beheaders of Saudi Arabia,they too support BDS.
