Eretz Israel is our unforgettable historic homeland...The Jews who will it shall achieve their State...And whatever we attempt there for our own benefit will redound mightily and beneficially to the good of all mankind. (Theodor Herzl, DerJudenstaat, 1896)

We offer peace and amity to all the neighbouring states and their peoples, and invite them to cooperate with the independent Jewish nation for the common good of all. The State of Israel is ready to contribute its full share to the peaceful progress and development of the Middle East.
(From Proclamation of the State of Israel, 5 Iyar 5708; 14 May 1948)

With a liberal democratic political system operating under the rule of law, a flourishing market economy producing technological innovation to the benefit of the wider world, and a population as educated and cultured as anywhere in Europe or North America, Israel is a normal Western country with a right to be treated as such in the community of nations.... For the global jihad, Israel may be the first objective. But it will not be the last. (Friends of Israel Initiative)

Anti-Israel Activity on British Campuses

The Israeli Ambassador to the Court of St James, Ron Prosor, who in my humble opinion, and that of countless others, is a truly superb envoy (one of the very best that his country could possibly field, especially to the hub of Israel delegitimisation that is Londonistan) has in a speech to the Royal Institute of International Affairs (aka Chatham House) described the "hate and hypocrisy" towards Israel at British universities as being at an all-time high. See http://www.thejc.com/news/israel-news/47183/ron-prosor-israel-hate-uk-universities-worst-ever

Anti-Israel activity at such London campuses as LSE and SOAS has been well documented, and today the case of a provincial university is the focus of an incisive essay on the CiF Watch site: http://cifwatch.com/2011/03/30/a-case-study-in-anti-semitism-within-british-academia/#comments
