Conflating the Israeli government, and the Israeli military, with the Jewish ethnicity, and the Jewish religion, is proving to be bad for overall PR when the government, and the military, are doing things that are vastly unpopular globally. Like apartheid
“Bad PR” doesn’t even begin to cover it. Netanyahu never misses an opportunity to claim he represents all Jews, so of course when his government commits atrocities, a lot a gullible people are gonna blame Jews in general. It’s so predictable I strongly suspect it’s one of his goals, because there’s nothing better for a far-right populist’s political career than convincing his supporters they’re under attack, and it’s especially easy when they actually are under attack. All he had to do was paint a target on every Jew in the world, which is clearly a small price in his mind.
I hope one day he’s remembered alongside Putin as one of the worst villains of the 21st century.
People really shouldn’t need PR to be treated right.
Antisemitic attacks are not the result of “bad PR”
