Prime Minister Netanyahu called the decision the essence of antisemitism, an interpretation that was adopted by several politicians on the right of Israel s political spectrum.
Other political figures, including Israel s president, also expressed outrage at the decision, insisting that Israel s army - the most moral army in the world, many were keen to recall - was able to investigate itself, and that this move was politically motivated.
The Palestinian Authority on Thursday said the hysteria behind Israel s public reactions were a proof that Israel was afraid of the proceedings. The attempt to define the decision as antisemitic is an example of Israeli defiance, also evident in its settlement enterprise, a statement by the Palestinian foreign ministry said.
