Israeli politics towards the outside world have the following characteristics: deny, distort, deflect and divert. Where do all these tactics have their roots?

During a mass rally in Munich, Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels spoke these words: "When Sie beschuldigt werden, geben Sie dem Opfer die Schuld."

Translated to English: "If you are accused, blame the victim." It is one of the ideas the German Ashkenazis adopted as a gesture after they struck the Haavara deal in 1933.

They brought the ideas with them to what was then British Mandatory Palestine, where they passed them on to those who later became Israeli Ashkenazis. The mixed population, as they are from around the world, named "Israelis" consist of nearly 50% of Ashkenazis. They are also found in their political and military leadership.

In Zionism, it is described as "always blame the victim." Examples showing how the doctrine works out in practice can be watch here.
