‘Why do you single out Israel?’

Readers know that I am compiling answers, from Jews and non-Jews, to the Dershowitzian question, why we at this site single out Israel for criticism from the great sea of living evidence of man's inhumanity to man? Hannah Arendt:

"In this entire affair I can confess to you one thing: that injustice committed by my own people naturally provokes me more than injustice done by others." (Letter to Gershom Scholem, 1963, during the Eichmann in Jerusalem controversy, reprinted in  Gershom Scholem, a Life in Letters.)
