GAZA GENOCIDE PROTESTS:

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says criticism of him by US Senator Bernie Sanders over student protests against Israel’s military tactics in Gaza will not derail an official visit to Washington he plans to make in the next few weeks.

Mr Netanyahu (left in main picture) recently claimed that widespread student strikes, sit-ins, and other unrest at campuses in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza showed that American universities were being overrun by antisemitism on a scale comparable to Nazi Germany in the 1940s.

But Senator Sanders (right in main picture), a Jew and an independent aligned with the Democrats, rebuked the prime minister saying it was “not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that, in a little over six months, [Netanyahu’s] extremist government has killed over 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 78,000, 70% of whom are women and children”.

Mr Netanyahu has since said the comments by Senator Sanders would not deter him from making a visit to the United States in coming weeks to lobby members of Congress to pass new laws he had designed enabling a better response to the situation on university campuses.

“I had hoped to fly to Washington and discuss with President Biden and members of both houses of Congress, especially Republicans, my idea for new US laws declaring university campuses across America to be part of Gaza,” Mr Netanyahu said.

“If American uni students care so much for Gaza and those currently living there… I mean, those currently still alive there for the time being, then they should have no qualms about having their campuses designated as part of that very territory.

“That simple process would allow me and the Israeli Defence Forces to respond to the current unrest in our own unique way.

“I can say without fear of contradiction that there is no unrest on any of the 12 university campuses in Gaza for the simple fact that since about January there have been no campuses left,” Mr Netanyahu said.
