Washington: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday lashed out at anti-Israeli protesters demonstrating outside the US Congress against the Gaza war and his arrival to the United States, calling them Iran’s “useful idiots”. In a fiery speech, Netanyahu defended Israel’s approach to the war and sought American support as thousands of defenders converged into the Capitol building.
“For all we know, Iran is funding the anti-Israel protests that are going on right now outside this building – not that many, but they’re there – and throughout the city. Well, I have a message for these protesters: When the Tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair, are praising, promoting and funding you, you have officially become Iran’s useful idiots,” Netanyahu said.
