As for `brutal & evil leaderships': Israel is the only functioning multi-party democracy in the Middle East. The Israeli people _elected_ those leaders.
So.... the fact that Sharon is an ELECTED former death camp commander makes it all good?
Meanwhile: Many thousands of Palestinian Arabs remained in Israel after 1948; they or their descendants hold Israeli citizenship, vote in Israeli elections, & their persons & property are protected by Israeli law. Show me one place in the Arab world where Jews are so treated. Also, show me which Israelis are killing random Arab civilians in restaurants, nightclubs, shopping malls, & suchlike places for the purpose of inducing terror. If you can do all that, then possibly, just conceivably, I may grant your argument of moral equivalence.
As it is, your argument sounds exactly like the argument for the moral equivalence of the U.S. & the Soviet Union during the Cold War, & I strongly believe it is equally bogus.
