Israel alone confronts the tyranny

Re: "Israel has dragged Judaism's reputation through the mud", Letters, November 5.
Israel is a sovereign state. Judaism is a religion. The elected government runs Israel in the interests of Israelis, not in the name of Judaism.
For Israelis, the issue is not Judaism – it is about their right to exist in their own sovereign country free from threat and abuse. Eric Bahrt claims to be a champion of people and animals’ right to enjoy a life free from abuse, and he is right, except that he excludes Israel.
The Islamic aggressors share a fundamental indoctrinated hatred of Jews.
Israel is under daily threat from a totalitarian political ideology controlled by barbaric laws.
In such a situation, no self-respecting country could be expected to wear kid gloves and turn the other cheek. It would be annihilated.
Israel exists because it is prepared to defend itself, unlike the Western world run by left-wing, self-deprecating apologists.
Europe is in total self-destructive submission to the present invasion by this same ideology surrounding Israel. Europe has succumbed in a state of inverted guilt.
Israel is criticised by these docile apologists, whose countries have surrendered their sovereignty, for not being as foolish and weak as they are in allowing their people to become subjected to the horrors of Sharia law without a murmur.
