It’s a strange moment in history for a Matryoshka doll of lies that’s usually re-offered swollen with each flare-up in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
After the bloody weekend attacks by Hamas on Israel, global opinion and the media seem to be divided. While a few Israeli papers, including Haaretz, have placed the blame entirely on Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, in India – similar to sections of the American and British press – mainstream television news and a few other outlets have decided to hound opposition leaders who have tried to delve into the “fundamental” problem of the long-standing demand of Palestinian statehood or Israeli violations of human rights instead of only attributing the conflict to one outfit.
