Former Israeli politician says anti-Semitism accusation a “trick“ to deflect criticism of Israel
Amy Goodman interview with former Israeli Minister of Education Shulamit Aloni on Democracy Now, August 14, 2002:
TRANSCRIPT:
Amy Goodman: Often when there is dissent expressed in the United States against policies of the Israeli government, people here are called anti-Semitic. What is your response to that as an Israeli Jew?
Shulamit Aloni: Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are anti-Semitic. And the organization is strong, and has a lot of money, and the ties between Israel and the American Jewish establishment are very strong and they are strong in this country, as you know. And they have power, which is okay. They are talented people and they have power and money, and the media and other things, and their attitude is “Israel, my country right or wrong,“ identification. And they are not ready to hear criticism
