'The New Big Lie - Israel is Executing Palestinians'

  • 9 years ago
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu held a press conference on Thursday night at the Foreign Ministry, where he, together with the ministry's director-general Dore Gold, discussed the recent wave of Arab terrorism.
Netanyahu in his remarks addressed Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's false claim that Israel had "executed" an Arab child for no reason in Jerusalem.
The 13-year-old terrorist is in fact alive and receiving medical treatment from Israel, after stabbing and seriously wounding two Israelis including a 13-year-old boy.
Netanyahu promised to spread the facts in response, and urged all to "look at these facts, see the truth, and (do) not draw a false symmetry."
"I've called for this repeatedly," said Netanyahu, who said he was "perfectly open" to diplomatic talks, and that he hoped such a move might "stop the wave of incitement."
"I'm willing to meet him (Abbas), he's not willing to meet me.
Get with the program," emphasized the prime minister, rebutting a question about whether he would be willing to meet the PA chairman.
"You should direct your questions to him."
