A Telegram post addressed to MK Gadi Eisenkot on Thursday argued that pointing out the difference between Arab-Israeli activist Yosef Haddad and Islamist politician Mansour Abbas is not racism, while asserting that conflating all Arabs is. The post also dismissed Eisenkot's characterization of the dispute as part of Netanyahu's 'divide and rule' strategy.
The exchange between MK Gadi Eisenkot and Arab-Israeli activist Yosef Haddad continued Thursday afternoon with a Telegram post criticizing Eisenkot. The post, which appeared at 14:07 Jerusalem time, argued that distinguishing between Haddad and Islamist politician Mansour Abbas is not racism, but that conflating all Arabs is. It also dismissed Eisenkot's characterization of the dispute as part of Prime Minister Netanyahu's 'divide and rule' strategy, calling it a parrot-like excuse. The post follows earlier criticism from Haddad, who accused Eisenkot of equating him with Abbas, as The Zioneer reported earlier today.
