Israel's Enemies: Who's the Worst of the Worst?

New York Times smartypants Nicholas Kristof opined several days ago that Israel's worst enemy is...Israel. In an open letter to the pundit, David Meir-Levi asserts that that's a bunch of hogwash; that Israel has far worse enemies than that (even though, truthfully, it also harbours lots of pseudo-Zionists and post-Zionists who would like nothing better than to see it disappears--for impeccably and pathetically lefty "social justice" reasons, of course):

So, is Israel its own worst enemy? No! Mr. Kristof, it is not. It should be rather obvious that Israel’s worst enemies now are Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood​, Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah, the PLO, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, the DFLP, the PFLP-GC, Ansar al-Islam, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade​, al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, Jayyish al-Jihad, and Sayyif Allah, to mention just a few. Next in line as worst enemies are the Arab confrontation states, quiescent now that they are engaged in their “Arab Spring,” but ever ready to scapegoat and demonize Israel; and, were there ever to be even a reasonable hope of victory, to attack Israel with all the vigor they could muster.

Then comes Turkey, once a sotto voce ally of Israel; but since the ascent of its Islamist government led by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a development which you seem not to have noticed, given your assertion that Turkey is “…Israel’s most important friend in the region” (but don’t feel too bad, our own Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta seems also not to have noticed), it has officially declared war on Israel by announcing that it will send Turkish warships into Israel’s coastal waters to support flotillas of wannabe blockade-busters heading for the Gaza Strip.

The tragic and bitter reality is that the so-called Palestinian national movement is the only one of its kind in the entire world and across all of world history whose only operative paradigm is terrorism, and whose unique and unrepentant goal is the destruction of a sovereign state and the genocide of its Jews...

Ultimately, that would be the result of the Left's "social justice" Jewtopia agenda, too. If the Arabs had the sense--and, more to the point, the patience--they would simply sit back and let that agenda play out.
