So what is the obsession with Israel?
Where were the protests against the occupation of the Baltic states when the USSR existed? Who cries about Manchuria anymore? What about Greenland?
Where are the demonstrations in Europe against the Syrian slaughter of the opposition? How many people boycott China for its oppression in Tibet? Are there people not buying products from Alaska, because the Russians sold their land too cheap in a legal contract?

Swedish "lefties" who prevent a tennis match where Israeli players participate: what the **** does a tennis player has to do with his government? How many people storm sports events where people from authoritarian countries participate?

Any foundation of a state in the history of the world had injustices, so revert it all back?

I see this fixation on Israel and it pees me off - it's hard to see only a genuine interest in the rights of the Palestinians rather than prejudices and old stereotypes.

@Sammi: I'd like to address your points, because they remind me of how I argued 20 years ago, so I can understand them to an extend. As I am on the run, and don't want to rush it, I'll write an answer down tomorrow.
