The Netanyahu government of deception and deflection

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Ironically, all the above-mentioned activities are also in Israel's interest, as they relieve it of some of its responsibility as an occupier.
54% : Education, as with many other public services, is provided in Gaza and the West Bank by UN agencies and other international nongovernmental organizations.
52% : Likewise, if Israel can provide credible information on the involvement of employees of any of these NGOs in terrorism or any other form of militancy, it should do so.
51% : However, UN figures portray a very different picture of these groups, which run or support 60 percent of Gaza's field hospitals, accounting for 12 percent of medicines that were sent there last year, in addition to more than half of all food assistance and hundreds of thousands of shelter items, among other essential services.
47% : Israel's claim that the aim is to weed out NGO workers with ties to terror groups is an obvious attempt to tar with the same brush all those who operate in the humanitarian sphere in Gaza and the West Bank.
45% : " There is hardly any country on Earth possessing a more elaborate surveillance system than Israel, whether in the Occupied Territories or well beyond their borders.
44% : What mainly irritates and frightens the NGOs in question is Israel's demand that they hand over "complete" personal details of their staff, an imposition that was rightly rejected outright.
43% : While coordination between the Israeli government and those who provide humanitarian aid is necessary, under the current circumstances what Israel is demanding of these organizations is draconian.
41% : You might justifiably think that the illegal occupying force of these territories, which has both moral and legal obligations to ensure the provision of public services to those forcefully occupied, would be grateful that someone else is forking out for a bill that is Israel's responsibility.
39% : Israel claims they have not complied with new requirements to register with the government.
37% : Sadly, the mentality of the current Israeli government is one of inducing a constant sense of siege and paranoia among its people, even by portraying humanitarians as enemies, only to maintain the narrative that this government alone is the sole agency able to save Israel from its enemies, regardless of whether they are real or imaginary.
34% : Well, this is far from being the case; in fact, the complete opposite holds true: these organizations are under constant attack by Israel, which is both mindless and brazen.
33% : As if Israel does not have enough international challenges to deal with, picking on the humanitarian world is one of the most harmful and self-harming tactics.
29% : Israel has accused several of its employees of participating in the murderous attack in 2023.
