DIANA BUTTU [Ramallah-based analyst, former advisor to Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Palestinian negotiators, and Policy Advisor to Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network:]
“Conquest, subjugation, and terror.’ These words were uttered by Prime Minister Netanyahu with respect to Iran, without the slightest hint of irony. It is a farcical and grotesquely hypocritical accusation, given Israel’s policies of conquest, subjugation, and terror, and that Israel remains in military occupation of Palestinian lands, continues to subjugate and deny freedom to millions of Palestinians, and employs massive state terrorism against a defenseless, occupied, largely refugee civilian population.”
