Gideon Levy And The Crime Of Minority Worship

Gideon Levy, in his article Has anyone in Israel asked why the Swedes hate us? continues his case against the State of Israel. His rant is primarily driven by an unwavering minority complex:
The world is always against us, period.
Here he attacks his own liberal European branja (a Yiddish term meaning the "experts" or the "guild"), as if he were not one of them:
thanks to the gung-ho Israeli press
Levy goes on to say:
the pointless killing and destruction wrought by Israel
Gideon you don't mention that Gaza was firing missiles into "Israel proper" for years! What about that death and destruction? Here your self-hate hasbara (Hebrew for a one-sided explanation or propaganda) is uncovered.
He continues:
these sorts of moments that made me feel ashamed to be an Israeli,...
We are also ashamed that you are an "Israeli!"
Levy asserts that Israeli leaders are:
warmongers versus seekers of negotiation...
You are the warmonger-you strive for some kind of one-sided false "peace" that is simple a mirage. The Arabs will never give up violence as an option. Only secular Jews like yourself-people who have spent their entire lives distancing themselves from Judaism-go on to quote, time after time the Jewish prophecies talking about abandoning of war. You quote Judaism when it is convenient for you to do so.
Below Levy never mentions the Arabs' behavior-never once. He never points out that is was the unrelenting pursuit of violence perpetrated by Hamas that led to Israel's long awaited retaliate-as if to say that Jews are not permitted to defend themselves.
Lieberman's belligerent statements and the Israel Defense Forces' violent actions in the territories
He states about the US and George Bush:
who gave it such a blank check for all its settlements, targeted assassinations and occupation activities
Since when do Jews, who are the true owners of the Land Of Israel, need approval from the nations of the world-or from Gideon Levy and his band of lost Israelites? Furthermore, in total ignorance to Judaism you say that Israel cannot target those in the process of killing Jews! What a despicable immoral policy-this is in total contradiction to the Torah:
if one comes to kill you, kill him first
אם בא להרגך-השכם להרגו
ברכות נ"ח-א
If a thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall no blood be shed for him.
Exodus 22:1
It was secular Jews who insisted on having their own state, and then created a movement called Zionism. Now, more than one-hundred years later, it's offspring, Bnei Hertzl, are having a Ashka-tantrum in the face of world pressure:
For decades now, the world has been buying the Zionist narrative almost in full.
He incorrectly states:
The occupation and settlements have been going on for more than 40 years with no serious impediment.
Sorry Gideon-you can't fool everyone. The occupation is within you. The fact that you spend all of your time and energy pandering to the West-your new savior-and not sharpening your expertise in your own religion, Judaism is the mother-of-all-occupations. Forty-years? Try two hundred years! The occupation of the Jewish Enlightenment, the Haskalah, has leveled world Jewry with assimilation and confusion. Many Jews have no idea what their own religion means. You are only contributing to this occupation.
