Sara Netanyahu, an objective ally of antisemitic conspiracy theorists - opinion
It is also symptomatic that this attack came at exactly the same time as Netanyahu was declaring that the security services had not deemed it necessary to wake him even as warning signs multiplied.
Sara Netanyahu's recent comments drawing a link between opposition leader Yair Golan's prior knowledge of the October 7 attack and her husband's political predicament are not only misleading but also dangerously fuel the flames of antisemitic conspiracy theories. The prime minister's wife's remarks, aired on Israeli television, not only attempt to absolve her husband but also legitimize the dissemination of baseless theories that have gained traction amid the rise in radical anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
By insinuating that Golan, a brave figure who acted heroically during the attack, had foreknowledge of the incident, Sara Netanyahu is not only attempting to deflect blame but also contributing to a dangerous narrative that portrays the Israeli military as complicit in the tragedy. This reckless assertion not only undermines the credibility of the Israeli security services but also adds fuel to the already volatile fire of antisemitic rhetoric. It is a disservice to the memory of those lost and a betrayal of the values of justice and truth.
