You can find "THE FACTS" about Israel here.
Civil Rights
Israel is a colorblind society, comprised of Jews and non-Jews from at least 100 different countries from diverse ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds. Democracy is the cornerstone of the State. Israel ensures complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex. It guarantees the freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture. Israel safeguards the Holy Places of all religions. All Israeli citizens, regardless of religion, ethnicity or color are accorded full civil and political rights, and equal participation in all aspects of Israeli social, political and civil life.
It is a very openminded society in at least one way, as the current leader is a known war criminal. In America our leaders usually become war criminals only after they are elected.

Israeli settlers murder 18-month-old baby near Nablus
Occupied Jerusalem: October 2/00 - Israeli settlers murdered Rania Abdul Haq, an 18-month-old Palestinian baby when a group of trigger-happy Jewish settlers riddled the car in which the baby was riding with bullets. Rania immediately died, as several bullets penetrated her skull. Moreover, her cousin, a five years old child also sustained moderate injury in the attack. Jewish settlers have gone on the rampage, with Israeli army approval, throughout much of the West Bank. The settlers reportedly killed a Palestinian laborer at the El-Sammou junction south west of Hebron Monday morning, as he was on his way to work.
Religious Freedom
The Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 guarantees freedom of religion for all. Each religious community is free, by law and in practice, to exercise its faith, to observe its holidays and weekly day of rest and to administer its internal affairs. Each has its own religious council and courts, recognized by law and with jurisdiction over all religious affairs and matters of personal status such as marriage and divorce. Each has its own unique places of worship, with traditional rituals and special architectural features developed over the centuries.
What did the Zionist terrorists actually do at Deir Yassin and at other villages that caused the Palestinian people to flee in fear? A Red Cross doctor, Jacques de Reynier, chief representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Jerusalem gave a shocking account of the massacre in his official report. De Reynier arrived at the village on the second day and saw "the mopping up," as one of the Israeli terrorists put it to him. It had been done with machine guns, then grenades, and was finished off with knives. The Jews decapitated some of the victims and fatally maimed 52 children in sight of their mothers. They cut open 25 pregnant women's wombs and butchered the babies in front of them.
Qana, Lebanon. Religious tolerance.

Young people value religious and ethnic tolerance in Israel as well.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights
Israel today is one of the world's most progressive countries in terms of equality for sexual minorities. Politically, legally, and culturally, the community has moved from life at the margins of Israeli society to visibility and growing acceptance. By 1992, activists succeeded in getting the Knesset to amend Israel's Equal Workplace Opportunities Law to outlaw discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. In 1993, the Israeli military rescinded its few regulations discriminating against gays and lesbians. In 1998 Michal Eden won a seat in the Tel Aviv City Council, becoming Israel's first openly lesbian elected official and in 2002 Uzi Even became the first openly gay member of the Knesset.
The lives of Jewish perverts (who are openly committing sins against their "G_d") are precious and sacred, because noble Hebrew blood flows through their veins.
Freedom of the Press
Israel's commitment to freedom of the press applies to all communications media, with only security matters subject to military censorship. Israel's press is lively, often irreverent, spans ideological viewpoints and has perhaps the highest rate of readership by percentage of any country in the world. Seven daily newspapers in Hebrew are published, in addition to several in Russian and French and two in English - the long-established Jerusalem Post, and an English edition of Ha'aretz, the country's leading newspaper, in cooperation with the Herald Tribune - as well as more than 1,000 periodicals, many of which are magazines for special interest groups.
So why can't anyone criticize your country without being labelled an anti-Semite, Nazi or racist by 1,000 different Jewish organizations around the world?
