Some critics of Israel are motivated by a wish that it did not exist — that it would just somehow go away. But this is the politics of the ostrich: Flemish nationalists feel the same way about Belgium, Basque separatists about Spain.

If I were a Flemish nationalist or a Basque separatist, I do believe that I would be mortally insulted at the way that my cause had just been equated with a movement that includes people who make unapologetic calls to kill every Jew in the world.
