U.S. Designates Israel as Country That Tends ‘To Promote, Produce, or Protect’ Terrorists; Also Calls Israel Anti-Terror Partner

(CNSNews.com) - In an implicit admission that Israel is so threatened by terrorism that it is not only surrounded by countries and territories that produce terrorists but also unwillingly harbors terrorists within its own territory in a way that most other nations in the world do not, the Obama administration is currently listing Israel among 36 “specially designated countries” it believes “have shown a tendency to promote, produce, or protect terrorist organizations or their members.”

Before the anti-Israel noise machine begins the Snoopy-dance, they must observe that Mora's report also notes four other countries that fall into the same category. By sheer coincidence all five (including Israel), though not islamic majority "have had internal problems with radical Muslim terrorists, as reported by the State Department." (One might ask why Britain, France, Spain, Germany, Holland, Canada etc. etc. are not also on the list? We could name a very large country with a Muslim extremist problem as well...)
