Israel Thread

[Sigurd]

Israel has always been lucky in its enemies.

It has a practiced and well drilled counter strategy. Firstly, don't talk about the allegations. Don't mention them at all. Then attack your attackers. Make the human rights in Algeria or Sudan or Qatar the issue.

Its like the saying of another famous Jew: "​Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone..."

And while it may be pithy and suggest, on a personal level, that we shouldn't kill someone who has had minor indiscretions - on the field of international law and relations, its nonsense.

It means that any issue you raise about another state cannot be discussed until you discuss first whatever the accused wants discussed.

It would be like you being tried for murder, and insisting that before *any* discussion of your case, the complete background of all the jurors, solicitors and judges be first examined.
