"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."
