Why is Israel the first priority?

Various large scale world atrocities and
conflicts have occurred in the past few years: Saddam's annihilation of the
Kurds, Syria's brutal occupation of Lebanon, East Timor, Tibet, Kosovo, Bosnia,
Chechnya, conflict between India and Pakistan, North Korea, War in the Congo
and Rwanda, Kashmir, Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Bali, massacres in Algeria,
Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Philippines, West China, Bask
region in Spain and France, Syria, the Lebanese civil war, and the Iran-Iraq
conflict. The majority of the conflicts are instigated by Muslims against
fellow Muslims or other ethnic and religious minorities.
There are many nations around the globe
who once had their own statehood. They still maintain their unique national
identity, culture, language and connection with the land:
The population of the Kurdish people is
almost 35 million. Their homeland, Kurdistan, is divided between five
countries. In his statements President Bush categorically
rejected the idea of an independent state for Kurdish people - Kurdistan.
Basks, the ancient people of Europe are
still divided and prosecuted by both France and Spain. Nobody is willing to
even consider their independence. The EU is liberally vocal in expressing support for
Arab-Palestinians but extremely mute about the future of the Bask people.
Addressing the question of Iraq President
Bush and the other ally leaders felt a compulsion to raise the issue of a
so-called Palestinian state. It is in spite of: there
has never been an Arab or Muslim state in the territory called “Palestine”.
Palestinians are just a mix of people from various neighbouring regions (some
of them even came from Bosnia). Syrian Arabic is one of the most commonly
spoken dialects among them. Their leader, Arafat, is Egyptian.
The war in central Africa
claimed almost 3 million victims during the last decade. Nobody gave a damm! Still, Arab-Israel
conflict is the top priority of US, EU and UN. All eyes are on Israel. I am still
puzzled why?
