Europe is justifying picking on Israel by holding its 'own' to a higher standard than say, Third World countries, or the Palestinians. At the core this hypocrisy is the racism of the diminished expectation. It says in fact: the other guys are subhuman so we don't expect them to behave as such.
Dec 12, 2014 The European Stance on Israel Is Racist To the Core: Caroline Glick is demolishing the patronizing racism of European ambassadors during the Europe-Israel panel at The Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference.
UPDATE: Israel’s story is by no means unblemished; but it is uplifting. It’s a story of how freedom can take root in even the most unpromising conditions. Such a story appeals to optimistic types, but repels the envious, the eternally aggrieved, the gloomsters who see free markets as some kind of racket — the same people, indeed, who tend also to be anti-British and anti-American, whether they be Left Bank intellectuals or Putinite nationalists or Bolivarian revolutionaries.

Israel rankles Europeans so much because it strikes at the Euro-integrationist's entire worldview. http://t.co/o5znMB4luD via @DanHannanMEP
