They are guilty of what they accuse others

Here's the blurb for the Tel Aviv Museum of Art at touristisrael.com:

The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is almost undoubtedly one of the greatest museums of modern art in the world. With a massive newly opened wing, the museum has a great collection of works by both Israeli and leading international artists showcased in an incredible building.

From the museum's website:

The Museum’s Old Masters Collection comprises some 150 works, including unique paintings, sculptures, and objects. The collection focuses on three major areas: Italian art in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries; Flemish and Dutch art in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; and nineteenth-century Jewish art. 

That's a total of 150 works, a collection not of 150 paintings but 150 everything including objects. And every one that I saw was from an artist that I had never heard of before. 

By contrast, the collection at the Met. in NY consists of 2,666 European paintings that are shown online. They probably have much more. And that includes paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, and Vermeer, and sketches by Leonardo da Vinci. That's a world class collection. 

Here's Tel Aviv's world leading art museum "showcased in an incredible building":


Compare to the Louvre in Paris:

and once again, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, "showcased in an incredible building":


I keep wondering what is the source of this deceit regarding Israel, the society that accuses everyone else of lying all the time. Why do these people deem it acceptable to lie or to never check the facts? Do they assume that if it's Israel it must be wonderful? Do they assume that they are allowed to lie for Israel? Why?
