A former high-level Israeli official says that Israeli Jews routinely
use the Holocaust and the charge of anti-Semitism to intimidate and silence critics of Israels policies. Its a trick. We always use
it, says Shulamit Aloni. When Europeans criticize Israeli policy, she
goes on to explain, we bring out the Holocaust, and when Americans
are critical of Israels policies, they are called anti-Semitic. Jews routinely bring up the Holocaust and the suffering of the Jewish
people to justify everything we do to the Palestinians. This is
effective, she adds, because the Jewish-Zionist organizational
structure in the US is strong and has a lot of money. Aloni, who
held several Israeli government ministerial posts, makes these
comments during an interview with Amy Goodman during a Democracy
Now! broadcast, Aug. 8, 2002. Runtime: 1:47 mins.

Two problems with that:
A rather large number of Jews themselves are opposed to Zionism and
oppression of Palestinians. This includes some prominent ones making their concerns felt about the actions of the current Israeli Government. TryingDa,
to accuse them of “anti-Semitism” tends to come off as a bit rich.Da.
Also, Arabs are Semites, too.
