The worst Nazi-type anti-Semitic stereotypes have been taken out of mothballs, dusted off and applied to Israel

The round of fighting with Hamas is one more stage in Israel’s strategic downward spiral, Canadian- Israeli journalist and filmmaker, Simcha Jacobovici wrote in a piece published on “The Times of Israel” Website, adding the overall strategic situation points to a steady deterioration in Israel’s position, both militarily and diplomatically.

"After the last Intifada, Israel’s enemies realized that suicide bombing alone cannot achieve their desired goal – the destruction of Israel. So what they embarked on is a three-pronged strategy," he said, citing the strategy as low-level conflict combined with the development and production of weapons and a media war designed to isolate Israel. "They have succeeded on all three fronts," he added.

"Economically, a few relatively low-cost tunnels on the Gaza border and a few thousand cheap rockets and mortars have cost Israel billions of dollars and, for a couple of days, even shut down Ben-Gurion airport. Israel’s isolation was near total," Jacobovici admitted.

"Today, Israel is a de-facto pariah state in the world," the author said, acknowledging that in the international media, Israel is portrayed as the enemy of peace, the disruptor of international stability and a racist, colonialist regime that targets children for a pastime.

"The worst Nazi-type anti-Semitic stereotypes have been taken out of mothballs, dusted off and applied to Israel", he said. Most of the planet is against Israel, he admitted.

"This is not science fiction. This is science. If the world sees you as a genocidal state, its leaders will seek your destruction," he said.
