Like the perverse comparison to the Nazis, any exaggeration in describing the occupation’s cruelty will ultimately damage the struggle against it. It’s easy to prove that Israel did not traffic in Palestinian organs, as it’s easy to prove that Israeli soldiers do not act like Nazis or that Israel is not commiting genocide. That doesn’t mean the occupation is not evil, criminal and brutal. The false stories serve Israeli propaganda: Look, we’ve issued a denial, we’ve proved that the occupation is not as cruel as they say, and we’ve cast doubt on all other, serious and well-founded testimony.
