(7 years ago)Israeli and Serbian leaders have only one in common: They're perfect on the politics of persecution. But there are many reasons why this strategy will not continue to function, writes Dahlia Scheindlin, in an analysis for “Foreign Police Magazine”, which in Albanian brings today Koha Ditore.

In the past, critics of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah compared it to nonliberal nationalists, such as Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaros, and citizens who consolidated controls to stay in power, such as Victor Orban and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. But to better understand the ability to survive political Netanyahu, despite all the trouble he faces possible corruption charges and has recently failed to form the Government. Aleksandar Vuciqi, president of Serbia.
Netanyahu and Vuchchiqi govern despite their still unresolved violent conflicts, for which their most powerful countries are widely regarded as aggressors. Both began careers as propagandists, portraying their countries before the world as victims and saviors.
Like Israel, Serbia is a small country with a host of problems and still caught in the shadow of successive wars of the early past. The latest 1999 Kosovo , which produced NATO intervention has never been resolved.
Vuciqi gained public importance during the breakup of Yugoslavia. But he had just turned 28 when he became minister of information under such time, President Slobodan Milosevic, in 1998, exactly three years after the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia. Three weeks before starting office, Serbian forces launched a deadly two-day attack on Kosovo, killing dozens of civilians and taking the attention of international media. Serbia had to explain much of Vuciqi's breaking teeth in Belgrade's defence against foreign criticism. Netanyahu began his diplomatic career during the crisis, in which his country was seen as aggressor: the 1982 war in Lebanon. He was 32 years old when he became deputy head of mission at the Israeli Embassy in Washington. Soon, Israelite forces allowed Lebanon's militant group to massacre civilians in two Palestinian refugee camps, Sabra and Shatila, shocking the world. Netanyahu took up the role of assassins, as ambassador to the UN from 1984 to 1988, as Israel deepened its occupations in both southern Lebanon and Palestinian territories.
