In the real world, the toughest criticism of Israel comes from within Israel, from people no one would accuse of anti-Semitism.
One of many examples is a remarkable 2013 documentary by Israeli film director Dror Moreh titled The Gatekeepers.
The late Avraham Shalom, Shin Bet director from 1980-86, set off one of Israel’s most infamous security scandals when he ordered the summary execution of two captured bus hijackers because he didn’t want their trials turning them into Palestinian folk heroes. Collectively, they blame Israeli politicians for failing to negotiate an independent Palestinian state with the Arabs immediately after the 1967 war.
That was the 1995 assassination of Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin by Yigal Amir, a radical, Orthodox Jew, who they say was incited by right-wing Israeli politicians and rabbis.
