Criticism of the Israeli Government
In association with the 2023 Israeli judicial reform the Likud-led far-right coalition were compared to Germany in the 1930s, by journalists and historians within in Israel.[5] Including by Daniel Blatman, an Israeli historian, specializing in history of the Holocaust, [1] and head of the Institute for Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[6] When interviewed by Ayelett Suhani for Haaretz, Blatman said "Israel's government has neo-Nazi ministers. It really does recall Germany in 1933".[5] His remarks drew some international attention from long-standing critics of Israel.[7] However, it should be noted he was referring specifically to the authoritarian aspects of 1930s Germany, he did not draw direct connections to the ghettos or the Holocaust.[5]
He is listed in the signatures on the open letter, "STATEMENT OF GENOCIDE SCHOLARS ON ISRAEL-PALESTINE", from 21 May 2021.[8]
In 2016 he criticised Benjamin Netanyahu for referring to removal of Israeli settlers from the West Bank as "ethnic cleansing".[9] This triggered a discourse with Benny Morris,[10] in which Blatman asserted that ethic cleansing had been done by Israel in 1948.[11]
