Livingstone’s sanitised reading of Ha’avara agreement distorts facts

The explosive cross-ideological responses to Ken Livingstone’s ludicrous remarks about historical Zionism, Hitler, and National Socialism encapsulate the vicious dichotomy at the heart of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Are criticisms, by the global pro-Palestinian movement, of Israeli policy in Gaza and the West Bank legitimate, objective, and motivated by a genuine empathy towards the Arab population, or propelled by a sinister, anti-Semitic psycopathy?

The immediate threat to life, security, and peace have, on occasion, prompted an overzealous Israeli reaction. Consequently, it is clear that some of these actions are a legitimate target for global criticism.
