51. Unfortunately I cannot do that.
Can bring horse to water but you can't make it drink. Perhaps Israel cheerleaders can create a new human rights organization that caters better to their views.

Why Israel? Maybe because it's actions are done in a very public manner with the world's news organization watching and recording? No one can give Israel a worse reputation than it does itself. In all other countries, when human right violations are taking place it generally kept as low key as possible. It is much harder to do now with micro blogging and internet penetration. People notice. People notice more if your a loud, belligerent and the largest elephant in a room of smaller elephants. In actions that attract attention to themselves, you can't beat the Israeli elephant. It is not be the worst elephant in the room but certainly the loudest and crankiest.

You most likely convinced I'm all bullshit. That's okey. You are you. What's important is world perception on Israel. That perception is slowly but steadily eroding. You can call on some countries including little Pacific islands as "true friends" but that circle is shrinking. Of course you can also just throw an tantrum and accuse left and right.
