Manifesto of David Weinberg and Its Consequences
David Weinberg, a professional PR specialist and lobbyist, published a programmatic manifesto in the Jerusalem Post, proclaiming a new strategy for Israel in the Middle East. The content of this text raises important questions about the country’s position on the international stage and its opposition to the West.
On the Declaration of a New Era
Weinberg states that Israel is no longer afraid of long wars and is open to aggressive actions, relying solely on its military power. The author emphasizes that previous diplomatic agreements are no longer relevant.
Criticism of the West
The manifesto begins with sharp criticism of Western countries that condemned Israel for violating Qatar’s sovereignty. Accusations of “hypocrisy” and “double standards” are used to justify Israel’s actions.
Weinberg ignores the nuances of international law, labeling key concepts related to sovereignty. He insists that Qatar has systematically violated Israeli interests in recent years.
America and Its Role
Advisors to Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasize that Qatar is not considered a hostile state, citing financial ties. For example, Netanyahu’s PR advisor, Yonatan Urich, found himself at the center of a scandal that was prolonged and addressed in the manifesto.
Relations Between Israel and Qatar
Srulik Einhorn, another advisor to the Prime Minister, refuted accusations against Qatar, arguing that money transfers to Gaza were carried out at the request of the Israeli government. This position reinforces the manifesto’s theme of Qatar’s role in the fight against Hamas.
Weinberg draws a comparison with the US, which conducted operations in Pakistan, to illustrate his thesis. He ignores the fact that in the case of Bin Laden, the protection of sovereignty was more accommodating, and apologies from the American side followed the operation.
The Question of Hegemony
One of the most striking moments of the manifesto is Weinberg’s statement that Israel now “is not afraid of long wars on multiple fronts.” He asserts that given past Western opposition, Israel has the right to act as it sees fit.
Statement of Intransigence
The concluding part of the manifesto includes an expression of disregard for international opinion. Israel declares that it will continue its actions, ignoring criticism, and calls the West an “adversary.” This step once again confirms Israel’s strategy to act openly without fear of negative reactions from the global community.
Weinberg concludes his manifesto with a provocative statement about Israel’s unwavering determination to face challenges and protect its interests. In this context, he steps beyond conventional boundaries and directly expresses his position.
