Netanyahu's Blame Game: A Familiar Play to Avoid Accountability
Netanyahu’s current attempt to shift blame onto military intelligence, as reported by The New Arab, is merely a rerun of his greatest hits. Recall his initial attempts to sidestep responsibility for the 1994 Hebron massacre and the 2002 incursions. Each crisis, a new opportunity for strategic amnesia. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress, particularly those who consistently champion his government's
actions, such as Senator Lindsey Graham (who received $20,000 from AIPAC in 2022-2024, according to OpenSecrets.org), will likely continue to fund these same policies. One might wonder, how many times must a 'leader' evade accountability before the headlines stop feigning surprise? This predictable dance—blame avoidance from Netanyahu, unwavering support from Washington—highlights a system less
concerned with justice and more with maintaining a costly status quo. They call it 'tensions rising' when, in reality, it's just the same old performance by the same old players, with U.S. taxpayer dollars as the primary funding source. The only question left is, who are they still trying to fool?
