Your Mask Has Fallen Off, Bibi Netanyahu
New York Dr. César Chelala
Finally, when it seemed that your lies would live forever you have been unmasked by the most unexpected and most relevant of your countrymen.
When former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon denounced your policy towards the Palestinians
he wasn’t mincing words. He accused you of committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
And your tired excuse, against all those who criticized Israeli’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon as being antisemites, lost suddenly all legitimacy.
What can you say about that, Netanyahu?
That Yaalon is also an antisemite?
A military man who was an IDF chief of staff and your own Minister of Defense?
Yaalon couldn’t have been clearer, Bibi.
“The path they’re dragging us down is to occupy, annex, and ethnically cleanse –look at the northern strip,” Yaalon declared.
And now the judgement of the International Criminal Court which you had claimed was the action of antisemites acquires irrefutable validity.
Damn it, Netanyahu.
Your genocidal madness caused the lives and suffering of millions, brought dishonor to your country,
and betrayed the aspirations of all those who strive for a better world.
