Arab on Arab Violence

One of my biggest problems with the Middle East is that Israel gets so much attention. I don't like to immediately jump to anti-Semitism, but the fact of the matter is that Israel gets condemned, rebuked, boycotted and de-legitimized far out of proportion to its actions. This should not then be taken in the opposite direction and prevent one from criticizing Israel when it does misstep, but we should take notice of this fact.

The Mashriq (Israel is in Red)
This is all the more evident when Arab and Muslim states take similar or worse action. At most, there are mild condemnations from the United Nations, but usually they are just ignored.

This section of Mashriq Madness will explore the inherent hypocrisy of the Arab world and the rest of the world vis-a-vis Israel.
