[Excerpt:]

"This simpleminded dichotomy – Palestinian victims and Jewish aggressors – works well with Western (particularly but not only European) academics, intellectuals, journalists, diplomats, NGO human rights campaigners and political leaders – particularly from the liberal end of the spectrum. And European governments, including the carefully hidden mechanisms of the European Commission, fund the narrative wars through anti-Israel NGOs that receive money under the misleading headlines of "human rights" and "peace partnerships." On the basis of these images, whenever Israel responds to attacks, the flood of condemnations follow – including false claims of "war crimes," "collective punishment" and "humanitarian crisis." In Jerusalem, the narrative war has adopted the Arab version, which eliminates 3,000 years of Jewish history as well as the occupation and systematic desecration of the 1948-1967 period. The EU gives large sums to organizations like Ir Amim and B’Tselem that produce their tendentious reports which are copied and published by the European Commission in order to further demonize Israel. This is the political equivalent of a Ponzi scheme – money is provided to generate anti-Israel reports that justify providing more money, without any external checks or accountability. The narrative war is also behind the boycott campaigns directed at Israeli universities, Amnesty International’s immoral campaign to prevent Israel from obtaining weapons for self-defense and the "lawfare" cases which exploit the legal systems in Spain, Britain and elsewhere to reinforce the images of Palestinian victimization and Israeli war crimes."
