Netanyahu Compares UN and Nazi 'Slander of Jews'

[azurnoir]

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday met visiting Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna, and addressed the report released Sunday regarding last summer's counter-terror operation against Hamas in Gaza.Netanyahu praised his guest as "the foreign minister of a free proud and independent Poland, on whose soil the defamation of the Jewish people happened when the Nazis controlled Europe."

"The attacks on the Jews were always preceded by the slander of the Jews. What was done to the Jewish people then is being done to the Jewish state now," he said, indicating the international boycott movement and UN reports and resolutions condemning Israel. "We won’t accommodate that. In those days we could do nothing. Today we can speak our mind, hold our ground. We’re going to do both."

Explaining the new report on last summer's war, Netanyahu said, "the report demonstrates unequivocally that our military actions during that conflict were in full accordance with international law, that Israel was exercising its legitimate right of self-defense."

1. Just stop

People need to seriously cut it out with the Nazi Germany comparisons.

2. This was Bibi's line but moreover Bibi really seems to need to brush up on the history of

antisemitism in Poland, considering this

Netanyahu praised his guest as "the foreign minister of a free proud and independent Poland, on whose soil the defamation of the Jewish people happened when the Nazis controlled Europe."

3. Also maybe stop posting crap from the RW pro-settler website?

Do we really need that garbage here?

5. I always have a problem with it

Consider it a standing objection.

6. No, your problem is with Azurnoir sourcing it

[oberliner]

8. You know that's not true

You've commented to me on other threads where I criticized the use of articles from that site by other posters.

9. I've commented on you not criticizing them for doing so, to be precise

After all there's been plenty of opportunity for you to go after posters for using right-wing shit hole sites like Middle East Forum, Memri, Gatestone, etc. And you never do. No, you only have shit to say about the sources from people you know to support Palestinians. As Azurnoir just demonstrated, you are totally silent when other posters use the exact same sources.

I don't know who you think you're fooling.

10. Not true

You've commented in threads where I have called out other posters for using that site.

Anyway, this is a silly argument. I don't think people should use Israel National News. It's a RW settler site.

That is especially true for people who support Palestinians, as I do.

11. why? are you saying the report is false?

7. Ah, the UN is Hitler. That explains it. nt
