Binyamin Netanyahu on how Israel justifies its war in Gaza

Published | Video Starts at 05:24

Well, I think that if Britain was invaded, forgive me, you know, if Britain was invaded and you had the equivalent in Britain, your population is what, 65 million, something like that. 60 million, right. So you're about six times our size. So If Britain was invaded... if you had on one day about 8,000 Brits murdered, mutilated, raped and kidnapped... what would you do? We know what you did. We know exactly what Britain did. And I don't hold Churchill or the British government or the British people who supported him responsible for saying you shouldn't act that way. (05:24–05:48)
