"Well, it’s a trick, we always use it."
Former Israeli Minister Shulamit Aloni speaking in 2002 about how claims of "anti-semitism" are used to deflect criticism of Israel.
"When, from Europe, somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust.
"In this country... they are anti-Semitic."
The attitude is 'Israel, my country right or wrong', & "that is to justify everything we do to the Palestinians."

The situation in the #MiddleEast has gone from bad to worse. Past atrocities cannot be counted towards current potential war crimes.
Thousands of #Israelis had been protesting against the #undemocratic "#reforms" of the #juciary.
Even though the saying goes, each country gets the government it deserves, even a democratically elected government is not the same as its people.
This is why I have started to...

...about the *#Netanyahu Government*. Also, naming the *savage* butchery of over 1,100 civilians, #Jewish and other nationals, on Oct 7th, 2023, by the #Hamas #terrorists as a starting point, gives some balance without engaging in #MAGA #bothesidesism.
So far, it has worked pretty well.
#Netanyahu is very likely a criminal and needs to be tried by an independent #judiciary, as even the would-be dictator #DonaldTrump is facing legal repercussions in the #US.
The war...

...came at a very convenient time for him and he is pursuing a "Wag-The-Dog"* strategy. Even a limited escalation of the conflict would be in HIS best interest , as it would further deflect from his potential wrongdoing.

It was the starting point of the current #WarInGaza, when "things went from bad to worse."

@HistoPol @DrALJONES Whatever merit anything else you wrote has, you lost every reader of sound mind and morals at “naming Oct 7th as the starting point”.

If you wanted to look at the origins of the conflict, you'd have to travel back in time at least to the #BattleOfKadesh in 1274 BCE*, following historic principles.
@specked and I did just that a couple of days ago:

If you really wanted to go to the first conflict, you'd have to travel back about two million years ago, when the first 2 tribes of #HomoErectus had a disagreement in #Palestine: 😉

@HistoPol @DrALJONES Thanks for clarifying. Still debatable, but not unreasonable.
