Law of Return

"that Palestinian refugees from 1948 should be allowed to return to homes in what has become Israel - a move that threatens Israel's very existence as a Jewish state. " (BBC)

a very good example of spin where one thing is made to look as the direct cause of another: especially when the result is "threatening Israel's existence" which is the most unforgivable thing in the book. Once you read the word "threat", the preceding proposition of course becomes unacceptable to liberal minds in Europe, without really reading or trying to understand what the proposition is:
simply that people should be able to return to their homes
