POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
If this doesn't define a rogue state, what does?
Theft, just simple theft, over and over in front of the whole world.
And in effect Israel says none of your business.
Add the thousands of murders, illegal arrests, torture, the abuse of millions, illegal nuclear weapons, selling nuclear weapons technology, and I just do not see what separates Israel from the great thugs of the world.
Every charge we read made in our headlines about Gaddafi or North Korea is completely true of Israel, except the former two aren't engaged in constant theft of other people's property and they do not receive billions of dollars in assistance and technical help and receive free trade.

But that kind of attitude elicits only the contempt of the world.
If Israel wants to be a nation like any other, it must behave the way we expect others to behave.
Right now, Israel is firmly in the camp of thugs and rogue states.
Don't like it? Tough luck.
