Dude, the only difference between any one country and any other is their military power. If the U.S. were a small country with a shitty army it'd be a whiny bitch too. Indeed, this is exactly what it used to be. Watch this:

Now don't take me for a fool; this video is biased towards Israel, and I know that Israel has plenty of dubious shit it needs to be held to account for, but the amount of shit that gets brought up about Israel is UNBELIEVABLE when you consider what some of the other countries in the world get away with.
For example, you NEVER, I repeat NEVER hear any shit about universities protesting over Chinese rights abuses and the occupation of Tibet. Why? Because they cannot afford to given how much money they gleam from Chinese students each year. But Israel? All the fucking time.
Hell, the amount of bitching you hear about the Palestinians is incredible, but Darfur? Only in the last year has it risen to any sort of meaningful prominence as an issue, and the Arab states are doing EVERYTHING to protect Sudan in what is a straight-forward case of genocide. But in an extremely complicated (and far less serious) situation like that in Israel, everyone's ready to bitch without offering any solutions.
