Israel's "self-defence" is destroying the world

Media_httpmediaargent_emibc

Israel has been pursuing its cry-wolf policy since its inception. Successive Israeli regimes have followed the same tactic of presenting their own nation as the victim of aggression.

All major news corporations have taken the line of "Israel as a victim." There are now more examples than ever. Israel has justified its attacks and deadly wars against Palestinians and Arabs in terms of their right to self-defence.

Any audience worldwide might believe what they hear. It is normal to seek safety and security as a basic need. People worldwide, and specifically in America, which is the foremost supporter of Israel, would be convinced.

As long as these fictions are promulgated along media wires and echoed by reputable institutions, Israel will continue to defy international law and humanitarian charters. More human rights will be violated.

Israel's self-defence argument should be renamed its policy of aggression. Self-defence empowers victims to use sufficient power to defend themselves. From Israel, we only see excessive force used against civilians.
