Ex-minister decries Israel's 'Goebbelsian propaganda' | The Times of Israel

The Israeli public has been “brainwashed” by its government’s criticism of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas into believing there is no peace partner on the Palestinian side, former deputy defense minister Ephraim Sneh charged in an interview published over the weekend.
“The Israeli public has undergone brainwashing in recent years, so that even if Abbas says something right, no one listens to him,” Sneh told the Al-Monitor website. “This, in my view, is more of a failure of the opposition than an achievement by the government. I’m going to say something harsh, and I don’t care if I’m attacked for it: The propaganda and brainwashing that the Israeli public has undergone on the Palestinian issue are Goebbelsian in style.
