Netanyahu says Israel’s ‘hand is outstretched to peace’ — but he makes a fist

This is funny. The Israeli Prime Minister’s office published this video of Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Birthright delegations of visiting young Jews two days ago. And the PM tells them Israel’s hand is outstretched to peace, but he’s making a fist.

Go to the minute mark of the video below.

It’s a country that feeds the hungry, heals the sick, and helps keep people safe in Africa Asia and around the world. This is the real Israel… It’s a strong country that is ready to defend itself against any threat. And its hand is outstretched to peace,  a genuine peace, with all our neighbors. This is the real Israel and you should tell everyone about it. Everyone.

You can see that Netanyahu twice makes a fist as he speaks of this genuine peace Israel is seeking.

Netanyahu also says that Iran’s days are numbered, in language that is somewhat reminiscent of the old Iranian threat that Israel will vanish from the page of time. Netanyahu:

[Iran] put up a digital clock counting down to Israel’s destruction… Well we were here in this land for thousands of years before the ayatollahs took the people of Iran hostage, and we’ll be here long after their theocratic tyranny is just a footnote of history.

For the Iranian quote, see the New Statesman.

Oh and here’s the PM’s rapt audience.

Benjamin “Netanyahu” Mileikowsky is a scary individual.

The Yahoo getting down to the Nitay Gritay. Scary I don`t think so. Ludicrous I think so.
Compare with one of his illustrious Apartheid forebears.

You can almost sense the underlining pscyhopathy.

I wonder if they are in anyway related.

Actions speak louder than words. Bibi has constantly broken international laws, built illegal settlements, mowed the lawn, killed civilians unmercifully, kept the occupation going, and called the Palestinians beasts. The only peace loving nation that has dropped cluster in the neighborhood as a gesture of peace and love.

However his hands are always extended for expensive cigars and pink champagne.

Netanyahu is like a blend of Richard Nixon and Bernie Madoff. He has a secret plan for peace, and he swindles Jews, selling them a war zone as a “safe haven”.

He actually says, “Are you with the free, or are you with the enslaved?” How else can one interpret this other than an admission that Palestinians are enslaved by Israel?
