Israel is tolerant towards gays

Israel has repeatedly offered peace and been rebuffed 
 |    
 
- Those “peace   plans” were completely unacceptable to Palestinian society and therefore   Israel didn’t offer enough (+972)
 
- Palestinians   accepted the idea of two states in 1988 and therefore cannot be expected to ever   compromise on anything ever again (Robert   Malley)

The IDF has fewer reports of rape compared to other countries’ armies 
 |    
 
- They don’t rape   because they consider Arab women too inhuman to even consider raping (Tal   Nitzan)

In short: If Israel does something bad, it is proof that Israel is evil. If Israel does something admirable, it is proof that Israel is evil. If Arabs do something bad, it is because Israel is evil.
Life is so simple for the simple-minded.
