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 wont accommodate that. In those days we could do nothing. Today we can speak our mind, hold our ground. Were 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."

(25,699 posts)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.

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.
