IMO the only friend that Israel cares about is Israel - as I remember, there were at least two cases in recent years when Israeli spies were caught in the United States, Israel´s closest ally. What differentiates Jews from Muslims and makes them less "dangerous" is their small quantity.
To Jurched: I am Austrian and I believe that Irving was jailed for something he said back in 1989 during a visit in Austria - as he came back now somebody informed the police and he was caught. Personally I find the sentence out of proportion, according to Austrian law three years is also the maximum sentence for someone who tortures children and Irving didn´t say "Open the concentration camps again" or anything like that. It seems that in Austria (or Germany or most other European countries) fighting nazis, fascists or at least people labelled that way is the only relief from the common tolerance and liberalism around here.
