MADRID, 12 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized the massive demonstrations in recent days in major cities around the world and has denounced these protests “in favor of Hamas.” These demonstrations would be equivalent to supporting the Nazis, according to the Israeli leader.

“Those of you who protest for Hamas are protesting for pure evil. There are many people who do not know the facts. We are talking about people who deliberately attack civilians, who have raped and murdered women, who behead men, that burns babies alive, that kidnaps babies and Holocaust survivors. These are the people you are supporting,” he argued in an interview with the American network NBC. “We are fighting the just battle of civilization against barbarism,” she stressed.

Netanyahu has compared the situation to the Allied offensive on Germany at the end of World War II. “It’s like World War II. The Allies were fighting the Nazis (…). They went to the German cities. The Nazis were hiding in civilian neighborhoods and civilians were dying. And who are you protesting against? The Nazis or against the allies?” he stated.

“They are demonstrating against pure evil. It is a mistake. It is actually a condemnation. It is an accusation against the higher education of some of our universities,” he stressed.

Over the weekend, there have been important pro-Palestinian demonstrations against the Israeli military offensive in Gaza in Paris and Brussels, although the largest was in London, where some 300,000 people took to the streets of the British capital on Saturday. , according to police data.
