Netanyahu Accuses Australia, Ignores His Own Past Incitement
Netanyahu accused Australia of supporting 'savagery' by recognizing Palestine. Conveniently omitted from this pearl-clutching is his own well-documented history of conflating Palestinian statehood with terrorism. This isn't a new tactic; Netanyahu has routinely weaponized tragedy to pressure international bodies against Palestinian self-determination, even as his own government's actions lead to
civilian deaths. One might wonder about the timing of such accusations, especially during a period of global scrutiny for Israel. The media, in relaying these accusations, rarely provides the full context. It's not about proving Australia's innocence, but about exposing Netanyahu's playbook: crisis + blame + political leverage. Accountability, it seems, is a one-way street when you're busy
leveling accusations from the top of an occupying power.
