Criticizing the Israeli government is not anti-Semitism

It is not easy to find a balance in the face of events in Gaza, but what seems so clear is the indifference of the Israeli government in the face of suffering inflicted on Palestinian civilians by an army that has fielded a difference of forces overly dominant. Excluding any consideration of opportunities and policy of Tel Aviv, it is impossible not to criticize violations of humanitarian and civil rights by what is, in effect, a democratic government. The point is that the criticism of the government of Israel is misrepresented by the anti-Semitic racism from the members of Israeli society. But the border is not as tenuous as you want to believe: to criticize a work clearly in conflict with international law has nothing to do with racism against Judaism and even against Zionism. The assumption that Israel has a right to exist is now a matter of fact, you do not want to erase the nation with the Star of David as a flag by the international forum, but only recall to respect the rules of that forum which wants to be part of . This psychological blackmail has also become political, as you can clearly see the stillness of the EU, which is not spent even in the statements of fact, against the massacres in Gaza, precisely because of the fear of incurring the anti-Semitic barbs. The European Union has not yet freed from the exterminations of World War II and did not dare to criticize Israel for fear that these crimes are the new reproached; But in doing so they endorse others and, above all, does not contribute to the search for peace and the consequent global equilibrium, remaining in his immobility unproductive. Need to do to pass the idea that criticism of Israel is only addressed to his Government and not to his entire company, which includes people willing to peace and dialogue and which are contrary to the massacres of these days. This situation to the Executive Tel Aviv is aware and takes advantage constantly, making it become real preventive tool against any adverse criticism. Western diplomacy and the companies must overcome this bogey and go to the heart of the problem when the circumstances require it. It should, however, also do some evaluations: the current government was democratically elected by the majority of the Israeli people, it is impossible to know if with new consultations may be re-elected, but it seems that the consensus for ground operations in the Gaza Strip is high, despite the presence of voices opposed particularly motivated; However, the Israeli left, which is in opposition, it does not feel much his voice, fearing to lose more support. We are facing an approval of the society of Israel, now compact in their desire to annihilate the Palestinians, or, rather, it was in front of a social fabric scared, rather than by Hamas rockets, government propaganda, which represents the massacres of civilians Gaza as a necessity of self-defense? The feelings aroused by the massacres of Palestinians in Israel are not horror? While the government there can be no excuses against the company must be granted some extenuating circumstances, precisely because of the fears, pressures and sense of international isolation that the government in power has forced them. From Europe Israeli society is folded back on itself in the throes of old patterns that do not allow him to get out of cliché statements, which leverage the more conservative tendencies, which have as their objective in the short-medium and medium term, to increase the surface area of the country and as a long-range goal the elimination of all Palestinians to steal the entire surface of contention; this is the extreme solution that is shared by large sectors participating in the executive, but that contrasts with the most basic reasons for the peace of the region, which is to influence, inevitably, on the balance of the world, in a vision of three hundred and sixty degrees, which is necessary to resolution of the matter. This vision is one that should frame the great powers and international bodies and forms the basis for moving constructive criticism of the government in Tel Aviv. The cornerstones of the critique must begin with respect for human rights and international law, without which the current Israeli ruling class can not be admitted into the comity of civilized nations. Who perpetrated the massacres must be judged and pay for their own sins in front of world public opinion and by this action must restart the peace process, now indeed very compromise, which must lead to the resumption of the project of the two states. We understand how to activate this action must fall to the equation that sees all criticism of Israeli organ of the country as a manifestation of anti-Semitism, even unilaterally, if Tel Aviv will continue to persist in this strategy: it is a duty that action must compel Israel to abide by the basic principles of civil society.
