appeasement

On 18 August, the Israeli prime minister wrote a letter to Albanese in which he accused him of pouring "fuel on this antisemitic fire" and described Australia's planned recognition of Palestine as "appeasement" towards Hamas.

Sonnenfeld alluded to the possible aftermath in his brief against Paramount/CBS, which he described as a “tragic capitulation of First Amendment rights, accompanied by a demoralizing and brand-tarnishing political appeasement.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit back at the announcement, saying the move rewarded "Hamas's monstrous terrorism" and "appeasement towards jihadist terrorists always fails".

The term "appeasement" gets kicked around a lot in American politics, and the list of foreign leaders compared with modern-day "Hitlers" is a long one.

Joe Biden has told the BBC that pressure from the Trump administration on Ukraine to give up territory to Russia is "modern-day appeasement" in an exclusive interview, his first since leaving the White House.
