Video - Netanyahu on Gaza: "We Are Defending Our Families, and You Would Do Exactly the Same"


(Facebook) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the IDF's actions on the Gaza border in a video in English on his Facebook page: "Mahmoud al Zahar, a co-founder of Hamas, said that calling the actions of Palestinians on the Gaza border 'peaceful' is a clear 'deception.' 'This is not peaceful resistance,' he said. I agree. Shooting guns and lobbing explosives at Israelis isn't peaceful at all." "Or take Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. He said that the aim of the riots is to 'tear down Israel's border and tear out their hearts.' I agree that destroying Israel and killing innocent Israelis is his true goal." "How about senior Hamas official Salah Bardawil? He said that 50 out of the 60 Palestinians killed Monday, that's over 80%, were members of Hamas - in other words, members of a terrorist organization - the same Hamas that has called for genocide of every single Jew....This is what we are defending our families against and you would do exactly the same."
