    The overall dynamic surrounding Israel’s treatment of Palestinians is simple and obvious - Israel’s actions are entirely indefensible, so all the efforts of the people responsible for it and of the many more people enabling it are directed not toward countering criticism, which is impossible, but toward silencing it.
