Israel Steps Up Police State Crackdowns | BobTuskin.com: by Stephen Lendman

Israel never embraced democratic values. More than ever today that’s true. Many Jews understand. As a result, they’re voting with their feet and leaving.

Gideon Levy remarked that “(i)t’s really an irony of history, because Israel was established to become a shelter to the Jewish people. Now Europe becomes a shelter for the Jews living in Israel.”

So does America. New millennium exodus has a whole new meaning. Last year, Haaretz writer Bradley Burston headlined, “I envy the people who hate Israel,” saying:

“….this is not the same country I moved to, so long ago. I learned when I first came that Israel was not the country I’d thought I was moving to.”

Now it’s worse than ever because “Israel at its highest level has taken an executive decision. Unable to beat the forces who want to see Israel as one of the world’s primary pariah states, it has resolved to join them” and succeeded.
