Question

Why are governments so up-tight about zimbabwe when they say nothing about isreal?

Answer 1

Israel has a democratic system with a proportional representation system that results in all ethnic groups having members in the parliament and some in government. While Zimbabwe is a black racist Marxist dictatorship.

Answer 2

Because if they criticise Zimbabwe:

1) It distracts the public away from domestic issues.

2) It shows them in a positive caring light.

3) There's no retribution.

If they criticise Israel

1) Zionist pressure is brought to bear,

2) Israel demands an immediate apology.

3) There is likley impact on commercial matters

Answer 3

Zimbabwe doesn't have the USA as muscle, simple as that. Idiots such as toon.army01 just make the media's job of reporting from a pro-Israeli point of view that much simpler. The Israeli government murders Palestinians every single day just for being Palestinian. There are hundreds of Amnesty International documented cases of Israeli army snipers shooting unarmed Palestinian civilians as target practice, many of them women & children. Homes bulldozed (sometimes with the stubborn occupants still inside them), water shortages, checkpoints, random arrests, shootings, plus of course those great unmentioned massacres at Sabra, Chatila & Jenin of Palestinian civilians...I think Israel's government makes Mugabe look postively restrained. The Palestinians get fed up opf their lives in the world's biggest concentration camp and launch a few ancient Russian rockets at Israel, with all the impact of fireworks. Israel responds with Apaches & ground forces, yet the media makes it look as if they are fighting the war on terror. So when a PLO soldier kills an Israeli it is a terrorist act. When an Israeli soldier kills a Palestinian it is part of the war on terror. It's bollocks, and if Al Gore ever really wants to present a documentary called An Inconvenient Truth pt2, he could do worse than start here.

Answer 4

Isreal, despite having flaws in its government system, it is still much fairer and more free than Zimbabwe's government, which is practically a dictatorship
