Netanyahu thanks Biden for ‘heartfelt support”
The Israeli leader praised Biden for his “heartfelt support” for Israel.
“After the savage attack on October 7, he rightly called Hamas ‘sheer evil’,” he said, playing up their more than 40-year relationship. “He dispatched two aircraft carriers to the Middle East to deter a wider war, and he came to Israel to stand with us in our darkest hour, a visit that will never be forgotten.”
Netanyahu says anti-war protesters should be ‘ashamed’
Netanyahu, for whom ICC prosecutors are currently seeking an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes, has said that pro-Palestine protesters “stand with evil”.
“They stand with Hamas, they stand with rapists and murderers,” he said, adding that they should be “ashamed”.
Rashida Tlaib holds a sign reading ‘war criminal’
Representative Rashida Tlaib can be seen wearing a keffiyeh and holding aloft a sign that says “war criminal” as Netanyahu speaks.
Netanyahu slams college protestors and administrators
Netanyahu has leaned into attacks on student protestors who demonstrated against Israel’s war in Gaza.
He also blasted college administrators who resisted calls to crack down on the protests and mocked LGBTQ activists who support Palestinian rights by comparing them to chickens who support the restaurant Kentucky Fried Chicken.
“The outrageous slanders that paint Israel as racist and genocidal are meant to delegitimise Israel, to demonise the Jewish state, and to demonise Jews everywhere. And no wonder, no wonder we witnessed an appalling rise of anti-Semitism in America and around the world,” he said.
Netanyahu says majority of Americans support Israeli actions, but polling says otherwise
Netanyahu says that the majority of people in the US continue to support Israel and have not fallen for “Hamas’s lies”.
“The vast majority of Americans have not fallen for this Hamas propaganda, they continue to support Israel,” he said.
But a recent Gallup poll found that 48 percent of people in the US disapprove of Israel’s actions in Gaza, compared to 42 percent whom are supportive.
A May poll by Data for Progress also found that about 70 percent of all voters support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, which Netanyahu has firmly rejected.
Netanyahu says Israel going ‘beyond what international law requires’ to avoid civilian casualties
Netanyahu, quoting a US military analyst, says that Israel has gone “beyond what international law requires” to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza.
Numerous rights groups have alleged that Israel is flaunting international law and targeting civilians in Gaza, where it has systematically cut off supplies of food and water, displaced more than 90 percent of the population and wiped out entire neighbourhoods.
Media outlets have reported that Israeli forces in Gaza see large swathes of the strip as “free fire zones”, and a US doctor who volunteered in Gaza recently accused Israeli snipers of targeting Palestinian children.
