Is Allah simply testing the Palestinains?

There probably is a degree of anti-Semitism involved but I'd also like to think that the different reactions towards Israel and Syria has to do with the fact that Israel is essentially a Western nation, backed and supported by the United States and Europe, and is (as it should be) held to a far higher standard in how she behaves.

Actually, Israel is an Asian nation.  

Clearly I wasn't talking geography.

The term originally had a literal geographic meaning. It contrasted Europe with the linked cultures and civilizations of the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the remote Far East, which early-modern Europeans saw as the East. Today this has little geographic relevance since the concept of the West has been expanded to include the former European colonies in the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand.
