Israel's culture of arrogance is so stout — that a former IDF troop tried to sue an American Palestinian for defamation — using Israeli law — in a California court

11 March 2021

Freedom of American speech is, evidently, an inconvenient obstacle to Israel's sometimes murderously expansionist form of Zionism:

A Palestinian-American activist has vowed to continue fighting Apartheid after winning a court case brought against her in the U.S. by a former Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier.

Suhair Nafal was facing a defamation suit over a 2018 Facebook post condemning the murder that summer of Palestinian nurse Razan al-Najjar during the Great March of Return.

The case was brought by Israeli-American Rebecca Rumshiskaya, who was seeking $6 million in damages after Nafal described her as “evil” for joining the Israeli military.

Bizarrely, Rumshiskaya was also attempting to convince the California court to try Nafal under Israeli law.

The attempt backfired, however, as Orange County Superior Court Judge Craig Griffin rejected the suit, even ordering Rumshiskaya to pay Nafal’s legal costs under anti-SLAPP laws, effectively deeming it an attempt to intimidate Nafal into silence.

I doubt that plaintiff Rumshiskaya brought this suit . . .

. . . and its curious reasoning, completely on her own initiative.

Israel's expansionist-minded Establishment would love to control American courts.

The Israel-sponsored anti-BDS wave in the United States exemplifies some of the heart of Zionism's aggressive attacks against Freedom and codified decency.

The moral? — Israel and its scattered Zionist ilk try to sell themselves as . . .

. . . victims of — and opponents to — genocide and Nazism.

Yet, they have come to fully embody those evils themselves. This constitutes an Old Testament-like irony of considerable proportion.

Israel might get more credence as a safe haven for formerly victimized people, if it stopped its own suppression and warmongering exploitation of everyone around it. Including attempting to silence those Americans, who are sympathetic to the plight of constantly Zion-murdered, home-dispossessed and Israel-subjugated Palestinians.

Victims of The Holocaust do not, ethically speaking, get to go out and start one of their own people-obliterations — even on a purportedly 'mini' scale — and still claim moral righteousness.

"Evil" (as Suhair Nafal characterized it) is the right word. Free and honest speech says so.

And keep in mind that our constant American propaganda-prattle — about allegedly repressed Uighurs in China — continually ignores all the repressions that we Americans vigorously forward every day — including those committed by Israel with our weapons and overt approval.
