I don't disagree with any of this to any serious bnb extent. I will say the the old complaint, "I can't criticize Israel without be a cursed of being an anti-Semite" is more typically a place where anti-Semites hide than a legitimate argument or defense.
As far as the State of Israel is concerned...it is the only democracy in all the middle east. And when was the last time there was a gay-pride parade in Ramallah, a women’s rights march in Gaza, or an opposition press in Tehran?
