Propaganda is a key weapon of the state of Israel
The sort of accusations to expect when you oppose what Israel is doing
In order to establish itself Israel needed the support or acquiescence of other countries, particularly in the West. It has consistently devoted significant resources into promoting itself in these countries in order to affect their policies.
How Israel demonises its opponents
The common approach of Israeli spokespersons, when challenged about the latest atrocities committed by the Israeli Defence Forces, is to go onto the offensive.
Palestine never existed
No Palestine
There was never a country
called Palestine so there
was no theft of land.
God gave Israel to the Jews
The Bible
God gave Israel to the Jewish people and this gives them right to return to the land of Israel.
Antisemitic extremist
If you oppose Israel you must be an antisemitic extremist
The notion that any opposition to the state of Israel is to be defined as antisemitism runs the very grave risk that it begins to undermine the very meaning of the term antisemitism to the detriment of all Jewish people.
Opposition to Zionism
Anti Zionism
Some Jewish groups oppose
Zionism. Can they be
described as antisemitic?
Lore
Weaponising the holocaust
Using the holocaust
Perhaps most sickening of all,
Israeli spokespersons are happy to
use the holocaust for their own ends.
Targetting of anybody who criticises Israel
A number of British politicians have been targeted by Israeli Embassy staff and Jewish lobbying groups leading to an end to their careers or the loss of job opportunities.
The role of Embassy staff

Targetting of British politicians
Leading British politicians targeted to end their careers and send a message
Former Labour leader
Jeremy Corbin
An outspoken critic of the Israeli government and somebody prepared to act for Palestine.
Former leader of GLC
Ken Livingstone
Claimed that there had been an agreement between Nazi Germany and the Zionist movement.
Leading politicians, after being critical of the policies of Israel, have soon found that their careers have been cut short. Notably this has been the case for Jeremy Corbin and Ken Livingstone, but Conservative politicians have also been targeted.
