Under de senaste sex dagarna,besvarade israeliska myndigheter 112 samtal från judiska civila som attackerats av araber. [Statistik]
Vecka efter vecka trakasseras israeler, stenas, brandbombas, överkörs, skottskadas, knivskärs ... men inga rubriker för det.
Inga berättelser alls. Noll. Ingenting hände. Det är bara brus när en gång vart fjärde år en ensam Israel uppför sig illa.
Okej, kalla det två israeler som bröt dåligt, en för anti-gay knivaskärande incident i Jerusalem, följt av en mordbrand mot den arabiska byn Duma, båda brotten skylls aktivt och triumferande på "religiösa judiska extremister." Hiatt astorien börjar genast.
Den judiska Daily Forward, där Jane Eisner fungerar som redaktör, vill att hela "Nybyggare"-rörelsen straffas. (Eisner tror att det är ett tecken på "mognad" när amerikanska judar överger Israel.) Den övriga fanatiska judiska vänstern vill att alla religiösa israeler avskaffas. "Något måste göras", säger de.
Över två ensamma attacker.
I Israel, utgör, när två eller tre judar löpt amok "ett brottsvåg."
EU, tysta över våldtäktsepidemi som sveper England, där muslimska män använder kristna engelska kvinnor för sexuella lekar med antal som är häpnadsväckande, var snabbt att svara och insisterade på att Israel måste visa "nolltolerans" för "nybyggarvåld."
Tack för föreläsningen. Men först berätta det för palestinierna för vilka våld mot israeler är en så olidlig rutin.
De kriminella handlingar som påstås ha begåtts av israelerna under de senaste dagarna är undantaget, aldrig regeln. Eftersom de händer så sällan, är det därför bilderna visar sig så snabbt och rubriker är skrivna så feta ... och varför en gång i en blå måne Israels fiender får heja och skrika, "jag sa."
Det finns inga historier om Gays som knivhuggs i den muslimska världen, eftersom det inte finns några bögar i den muslimska världen - ingen som fortfarande är i livet.
The New York Times och Haaretz var stolta över möjligheten att attackera Israel som en nation av Gay-intolerans - allt på grund av att EN MAN gick bärsärkagång.
Israels gästfrihet till Gays påpekas sällan.
Inom Amerika har vi samma sensationstäckning men det är mot polisen och det är samma verksamhet i stereotyper.
Under de senaste åtta dagarna har varje TV-nätet spelat och spelas en annan vit polis-svart misstänkt skyttehändelse, denna gång i Cincinnati.
Detta sker efter Ferguson, Baltimore och New York, så fyra händelser där poliser är i hårkorset på frenetiska medier. Fyra.
Aldrig nämns de miljon poliser som gör sina dagliga stopp heroiskt och hedervärt och utan fanfarer.
Detr är en mediafrenesi om Cincinnati, folk säger att här är mer bevis på polisbrutalitet mot svarta.
Nej! Detta bevisar motsatsen. Vi är chockade av påstått olämpligt uppträdande hos poliser i Amerika inte för att det är så vanligt, men eftersom det är så sällsynt.
Om det vore ofta skulle det vara lika tråkigt och orapporterat som gårdagens 38 svart mot svart skottlossning i Chicago.
Vi är chockade av kriminella handlingar som begåtts av israelerna eftersom det är så ur karaktär.
Från israeler kräver vi perfektion. Likaså poliser. Ett felsteg och det är kört.
Op-Ed: Unbearable Double Standard After Anti-Gay Attack In Jerusalem
Only the rare Israeli criminal makes the news.

Over the past six days, Israeli authorities answered 112 calls from Jewish civilians being attacked by Arabs.
Week after week Israelis are harassed, stoned, firebombed, run over, shot, knifed…but no headlines for this.
No stories at all. Zero. Nothing happened. It only makes noise when once every four years a singleIsraeli breaks bad.
All right, call it two Israelis who broke bad, one for the anti-Gay stabbing incident in Jerusalem followed by an arson attack against the Arab village of Duma, both crimes actively and gloatingly blamed on “religious Jewish extremists.” The piling on begins at once.
The Jewish Daily Forward, where Jane Eisner serves as editor, wants the entire “Settler” movement punished. (Eisner believes it’s a sign of “maturity” when American Jews abandon Israel.) Other fanatical Jewish leftists want Religious Israelis abolished. “Something must be done,” they say.
Over two solitary attacks.
In Israel, two or three Jews gone rogue constitutes “a crime wave.”
The EU, silent over the rape epidemic sweeping England, where Muslim men use Christian English women for sexual pastimes by numbers that are staggering, was quick to respond, insisting that Israel must show “zero tolerance” for “Settler violence.”
Thank you for the lecture. But first tell it to the Palestinians for whom violence against Israelis is so unbearably routine.
The criminal acts allegedly committed by Israelis over the past few days are the exception, never the rule. Because they happen so infrequently, this is why the pictures travel so fast and the headlines are written so bold…and why once in a blue moon Israel’s enemies get to cheer and shout, “I told you so.”
There are no stories about Gays being stabbed in the Muslim world because there are no Gays in the Muslim world – none that are still alive.
The New York Times and Haaretz were thrilled at the chance to knock Israel as a nation of Gay intolerance – all because ONE MAN went berserk.
Israel’s hospitality to Gays is seldom remarked.
There are no stories about Gays being stabbed in the Muslim world because there are no Gays in the Muslim world – none that are still alive.
Within America we have the same sensationalized coverage but it’s against the police and it’s the same business of stereotyping.
Over the past eight days every TV network has played and replayed another white cop-black suspect shooting event, this time in Cincinnati.
This comes after Ferguson, Baltimore and New York, so four altogether where cops are in the crosshairs of a frenzied media. Four.
Never mentioned are the million cops who make their daily stops heroically and honorably and without fanfare.
Quite a media frenzy it’s been about Cincinnati, people saying here’s more proof of police brutality against blacks.
No! This proves the opposite. We are shocked by alleged police misbehavior in America not because it is so frequent, but because it is so rare.
If it were frequent it would be as boring and as unreported and last night’s 38 black-on-black shootings in Chicago.
We are shocked by criminal acts committed by Israelis because it is so out of character.
From Israelis we demand perfection. Likewise cops. One false move and it’s Gotcha.
