Israeli spokesperson accuses South Africa of ”cheapening the memory of the Holocaust'

In an interview with Channel 4 News, Israeli government spokesperson Elon Levy has accused South Africa of "cheapening the memory of the Holocaust" by levelling accusations of genocide against Israel.

Levy further asserted that South Africa is aligning diplomatically with Hamas and Iran, claiming that the country is acting as the ‘legal arm’ of Hamas.

The most dangerous liars are those, who think they are telling the truth

[Marlago-pvtq]

Changing the narrative when it suits them, the arrogance and hypocrisy are beyond words. Justice must be done to stop this long running injustice

[DjDmt]

Nice to see journalists pushing back on their BS.

This guy is a snake oil salesman

[khalidnahar]

"War is awful" that was the worst acting ever.

[amano]

then what norman finkelstein is true.
"The biggest insult to the memory of the holocaust is not denying it but using it as an excuse to justify the genocide of the Palestinian people."

- Norman Finkelstein

[parkermudsen]

If the Palestinian people aren’t Israel’s enemy why is it inflicting collective punishment on them?

[marwaal-shafey]

"War is awful" look at this liar's face! Obnoxious!

[summatahera]

Made me sick in the stomach

We are not blind.

"We want to live in peace with post-Hamas Gaza" But you never lived in peace with pre-Hamas Gaza.

What's going on.. Lying blatantly without any shame!! We are living in unimaginable times!!

[ABStuff]

I feel nauseated when Israeli officials close their eyes & try to act as if they're sympathetic human beings. They're very bad at it.

[redalert]

South Africa is defending the memory from being used as an excuse for genocide.

[Cauldron]

THIS is how you hold a state actor to account! Great example of journalism calling out the semantical bull****.

[placeofpeace]

Thank God we still have intelligent journalists like this in the U.K.

[lizm]

Lies, lies, lies, greed & pure Evil. So refreshing to hear a journalist pushing back !!

[moshoeshoetsetsana]

As a South African I am so proud of my country for standing for what is right and exposing Israel for the whole world to see and understand.

[turaumuro-dqll]

"We didn't ask for this war..." 75 years of sleeping in your neighbours house and beating him and his family.... now you cry... this is the beginning of the end.

[elvi.s]

Lying with such an arrogance and believing that people are stupid enough to stand with him makes me really angry!

[PrinceAndrew-jl]

South Africa has every right to speak the truth...

[bershiad]

This guy is a devil. The lies that came out of his mouth from the beginning to justify the killings of babies was horrible. Justice needs to be served and he and others likes him should be held accountable
