Again, in his letter dated 23.09.2010, Israel's ambassador in Spain assumes a kind of natural right to represent all Jews around the world, while considered unethical to deny the Jews "Their right to a nation-state itself" and says "Israel for Jews and Palestine for the Palestinians."
Not to mention the insatiable and unstoppable policy of land seizure by Israel outside, this supposedly fair equivalence is quite misleading, because lately trying to confuse the recognition of Israel, which the Palestinians have already done many years ago with the requirement to recognize as belonging to the Jewish people. "Jew" is not equivalent to "Palestinian" is equivalent to "Christian" or "Muslim." "Palestinian" does not mean "Jew" equals "Israeli" or "English."
Democratic countries are all citizens, not just those belonging to a particular group. What would the ambassador if countries like Spain or Argentina were proclaimed property of Catholics and reduce everyone else, including Jews, the role of second-class citizens who are non-Jews in Israel? In your country, Mr. Ambassador, the Jews have rights that others have not, on the right to live there and the land, without going any further.
As a Jew who escaped the Nazis and their cause has lost half of his immediate family, I find it intolerable that the State of Israel continuously usurps my behalf and that of my dead to justify anything you can think of doing.
