Israel's Ship of Fools Has Already Set Sail | Adv. Uriel Lynn

Adv. Uriel Lynn argues that Israel's status and image in the world are at an historic low, due in part to the government's conduct, actions of an extremist settler faction, and the response to British sanctions. He warns that the policy of sanctions against Britain and the Netherlands will cause further damage to Israel.

Adv. Uriel Lynn, in an opinion column in Maariv, argues that Israel's status and image in the world are at an historic low, as reflected in UN General Assembly debates. According to him, the global wave of antisemitism, exacerbated by the Iron Swords War, is not coincidental, and Israel itself has fueled it. Lynn sharply criticizes the government's conduct, particularly ministers Ben Gvir and Katz, and an extremist settler faction committing criminal offenses against Palestinians. He claims the government is not fighting this phenomenon, and that its response to British sanctions—closing the consulate and banning entry to parliament members—is a "policy of folly" that will cause further damage to Israel, including economic sanctions and political isolation. Lynn calls on the government to act decisively and wisely to improve Israel's image, while maintaining national dignity.
