Douglas Murray: 我认为以色列已经成为许多人发动针对他们自己社会的一种代理战争。在过去一年多的时间里，世界各地爆发了反对以色列的抗议活动，从中可以观察到一个非常清晰的模式。支持以色列的示威者会挥舞以色列国旗和他们所在国家的国旗，例如在伦敦会挥舞英国国旗和以色列国旗，而在美国则会挥舞星条旗和以色列国旗。在加拿大的支持以色列的活动中，人们会唱以色列国歌和加拿大国歌。然而，在反对以色列的抗议活动中，示威者会挥舞巴勒斯坦国旗，有时还会挥舞哈马斯或真主党的旗帜，但他们从不挥舞他们所在国家的国旗。例如，在伦敦，他们会挥舞爱尔兰国旗。这些反以色列运动清楚地表明了他们的立场，他们不仅反对以色列，还认为每个西方国家都是第二邪恶的国家，因此他们不可能挥舞他们所在国家的国旗或唱国歌，因为他们不喜欢这些国家。这些运动的推动力主要来自政治极左翼和西方的穆斯林人口。如果仅仅是因为穆斯林挺身而出捍卫其他穆斯林，那么他们本应该在近年来对其他冲突更加积极，例如在也门和叙利亚，穆斯林之间互相杀戮的人数远远超过了加沙和黎巴嫩与以色列的冲突。穆斯林世界对犹太国家与以色列的战斗非常敏感，因为犹太国家的存在和自卫权伤害了许多穆斯林世界的自尊心。犹太人拒绝了伊斯兰教创始人穆罕默德邀请他们加入伊斯兰教的邀请，而且拥有最终启示的社会应该在各方面都表现出优势。如果一个穆斯林社会在各方面都不如邻国以色列，这是一种深深的冒犯。
