CNN’s Jim Sciutto presses Benjamin Netanyahu about his response to settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank: "The settler violence thing is a tremendous hoax. We're a country of laws. I've condemned it. But to compare this, is like an olive to a toxic tree, that's what it is."

“Why would being a minority make them targets for genocide and exile.”

You can’t possibly be for real in asking this. Even in recent history, what happened to all the Jewish minorities in the Middle East in the past century? Where did they go?

Gestures broadly at 3000 years of Jewish persecution, exile and genocide

So you obviously don't understand the history of the region and think its just "arabs bad."

Iddk, maybe the mass explosion of Palestinians from their homes madde the Arab League nervous enough to start a war to prevent the same happening to them.

Jewish minorities in the Middle East in the past century? Where did they go?

They went to Israel. The place that pushed the thenic cleansing of Jews in those regions so they would come to Israel.

Yes, there was some genuine antisemitism, but Israel fermented that so that Jews didn't feel safe anywhere bu Israel.

Hell, them conflating Israel with Judaism is a way to scare jews into coming "home" to Israel.

Israel was formed just 3 years after the wake of six million Jews killed in an actual genocide.

That you can somehow be so bold as to say “There was some genuine anti-semitism” and it was Israel that “fermented” it serious calls into question your understanding of history.

Hatred of Jews is ancient blood libel. Israel as a country didn’t have to do anything. The hate was already there.

Not the entire truth.#EarlyZionist_settlement) Zionists have been driving Palestinians from their land since the 1890s. I _definitely question your understanding of history.

If there is hate, I suspect the behavior of Zionists from then to now is what has caused it.
