Israel is not only fighting Hamas but a global “eighth front” [Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Gaza, Iran, Iraq, etc.] war—framing pro-Palestinian demonstrations as a civilizational threat to “free societies” across the world.

Netanyahu said protests in Western capitals are “celebrating murderers, rapists, baby burners, hostage takers.” He claimed Israeli, American, British, Canadian, and French flags are being burned at these protests [they aren’t], and are evidence of a broader attack on “Western civilization.”

Netanyahu claimed that Hamas’s October 7 assault was an attempt to “recreate the Holocaust”…

He claimed that…world leaders…are “cowed” by pro-Palestinian movements and are trying to “corral the victim,” while actually enabling “barbarians” and weakening free societies’ ability to defend themselves.

“You dehumanize a group of people in human society and you prepare them for the kill, for the butchery. That is always the case. You always demonize before you annihilate.

Had they had their way, they would have butchered every man, woman and child in this state, and every Jew around the world. They openly say that.

“We take thousands of prisoners, sort them out into civilians and combatants, and we photograph them… The first thing you do is you tell them, ‘Take your shirt off. We want to see that there is no suicide vest.’… and you don’t see one, not one emaciated from the beginning of the war to the present,” he said.

“In fact, you see quite the opposite because you don’t get that much exercise, certainly not in tunnels, but you get food.”
