From the Pulpit...

Israel's social injustice, materialism, self-centeredness, and willful ignorance of God were rampant. Notice that Israel's list is the only one that names four crimes. The other nations' lists are deliberately shortened, as if to say that Israel's sins accumulated faster than their counterparts. Judgement was harder for Judah and Israel than the other nations because they had forsaken God's revealed and written law. Their covenant relationship with God held the to a higher standard.
