“Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has accused Spain of an ‘anti-Israel obsession’ for its criticisms of the US-Israeli war on Iran and its refusal to allow its airspace to be used in the onslaught, a perceived slight to which Israel has responded by banning Madrid from participation in a coordination center for the oversight of the so-called ‘ceasefire’ in the Gaza Strip. We’ve been hearing this ‘obsession’ talking point from Israel and its apologists a lot lately. … The other day right-wing pundit Meghan Murphy had a strange conversation with Tablet Magazine editor Jacob Siegel about our society’s ‘recent insane obsession with Israel,’ speaking as though everyone just randomly began fixating on this genocidal apartheid state out of nowhere a short while ago, for no valid reason.” (04/12/26)
