Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently made strong remarks criticizing anti-war and pro-Palestinian protesters, labeling them as 'anti-Israel' and urging them to feel ashamed of their actions.
Netanyahu emphasized the importance of distinguishing between good and evil, expressing disappointment that some protesters choose to align themselves with what he referred to as 'evil.' He specifically called out their support for Hamas, a group he described as 'rapists and murderers' who target civilians.
The Prime Minister highlighted the refusal of these protesters to differentiate between Israel, a democratic state, and Hamas, a terrorist organization. He urged them to recognize the distinction between those who target terrorists and those who target innocent civilians.
Netanyahu's comments come in the context of ongoing tensions in the region, with recent attacks by Hamas resulting in casualties on both sides. According to reports, Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7 led to the death of 1,200 people and the taking of 250 hostages. In response, Israeli strikes in Gaza have reportedly resulted in the deaths of 39,090 Palestinians and injuries to 90,147 individuals, as reported by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
It is important to note that CNN has stated its inability to independently verify the figures provided by Gazan authorities regarding the casualties.
