Avoiding embarrassing facts is one of the examples.

  Of course, show me a nation on Earth that does not have embarrassing facts. Maybe Finland or Switzerland qualify. Certainly no other European or Western nation.

    Having embarrassing facts is not a problem. Hiding/omitting them is.

      Alright then, please show me any nation whose embarrassing parts of history are more widely paraded around in public than that of Israel.

        Germany?
        • dotancohen 5y ago
          I've never heard the usage of a German sin used to slander the current German nation. They are discussed, but not used to influence perception of Germans today. Contrast with the constant barrage against Israel, I was just recently berated by an American for the USS Liberty incident - from 1967 I believe. They echo each other these sins to paint my nation in a poor light constantly.

    I don't know about Finland, but Switzerland is full of embarrassing facts, having provided financial and banking services to all manners of characters including Nazis.
