Such a poisoning of civilising forces within international relations is now being applied to the UN. In the absence of press freedom, the UN is one of the few organisation which has been able to provide evidence of whether the IDF is indeed committing war crimes. In response, Israel has vociferously attacked the institution rather than the evidence. Such attacks have targeted not only UNWRA but also UN personnel and no less the Secretary General – inexcusably made persona non grata. In this way, the aim has been – at great moral expense – to undermine the credibility of the UN as whole.
How then, it must be asked of Netanyahu, is it possible for us to view Israel as anything but a rogue state in which its civilising instincts have been all but extinguished and its democratic principles seriously eroded.
