In his latest speech, Netanyahu mocks British and French voices that speak of colonialism, dismissing their arguments as absurd.

Elsewhere, he boasts that he fought on their behalf and killed those he labels “terrorists,” whose blood he claims responsibility for spilling.

He then extends his boast to entire nations, claiming that he is fighting for a better world.

Netanyahu will not mention in his speech the scale of the bloodshed perpetrated by his gangs since the 1920s—not only against Arabs, but also against anyone who posed even the slightest obstacle to their project.

Even the British, who for years had been the custodians of their promise, found themselves bleeding once their White Paper endorsing a two-state solution was issued.

Netanyahu will say nothing in his speech about Israel’s nuclear programme, which even its closest allies are denied the ability to inspect, and of which US President John F. Kennedy may perhaps have been one of the victims.

Nor, certainly, will Netanyahu mention the dozens of voices and pens that have been silenced simply because they sided with the truth.

Netanyahu skilfully refines the lies of his predecessors, assuming the roles of both victim and hero as he wages his war against the world’s consciousness.

It has reached the point where merely reading and writing about what is described as the greatest documented crime of the modern era can itself be branded a crime under the accusation of antisemitism.

The excuses offered by those who refuse to fight on the seven fronts Netanyahu enumerated are familiar, well known, and unjustifiable.

But what excuses can be offered by those who fall behind in the battles on this front at this historic juncture in the long night of the conflict?

Netanyahu knows perfectly well that military victory alone is insufficient; he needs a political victory, and the latter, in turn, requires victory in public opinion.

The “eighth front,” therefore, is not an additional front in the war. It is the front through which he seeks to achieve his imagined decisive victory.

And this is precisely where his own formula can be turned against him.

Military wars are contests in which fortunes shift, but the predicament confronting this Antichrist and his narrative runs deeper: his project was founded, from its earliest beginnings, in opposition to the truth.

A Palestinian truth that predates him, whose traces cannot be erased by “tons of lies” from the river to the sea.
