From Haaretz’s Hebrew coverage of the Sheikh Jarrah protests, we see Ilan Baruch, the diplomat who lately resigned in protest of Netanyahu policies, saying Israeli policies are alienating the country from the world’s good opinion. He was wounded in the war of attrition.
Ilan Baruch is upset about Lieberman’s rottweiler conduct, but why did he keep quiet when Israel was using cluster and phosphorus munition against civilians Lebanon and Gaza? It’s good to see him at Sheikh Jarrah, but some things are (even/much) more important. The problem is, when Israeli government is “dignified” (Tzipi and Ehud), and Israel is more popular abroad, most members of the elite will easily accept what its government does.
