Pilar Rahola is a Spanish politician, who is considered to be a member of the Left in Spain. Well you could have fooled me. Here is part of what she said in a speech from December 2009:

The first question, then, is why so many intelligent people, when talking about Israel, suddenly become idiots. The problem that those of us who do not demonize Israel have, is that there exists no debate on the conflict. Intellectuals and international journalists have given up on Israel. It doesn’t exist. That is why, when someone goes beyond the “uniform thought” of criticizing Israel, he becomes suspect and is immediately segregated. Why?
I’ve been trying to answer this question for years: Why?
Why, of all the conflicts in the world only this one interests them?
Why is a tiny country which struggles to survive criminalized?
Why does manipulated information triumph so easily?
Why are all the people of Israel reduced to a simple mass of murderous imperialists?
Why is there no Palestinian guilt?
Why is Arafat a hero and Sharon a monster?
