Netanyahu’s Speech Threatens Hamas and Takeover of Gaza

[WorthyBot]

*Breaking news from Knesset this morning:* Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu just made the following speech in front of the Knesset:

—-

To Ismail Haniya, and the leaders and operatives of Hamas:

We, the people of Israel, owe you a huge debt of gratitude. You have succeeded where we have failed. Because never before, in the history of the modern State of Israel, has the Jewish people been so united, like one person with one heart. Everyone in Israel, from Left to Right, secular and religious, in united in the knowledge that there is no accommodating an enemy that is sworn to the genocide of our people.

And now, as you continue to launch deadly missiles indiscriminately, intended to maim and murder as many civilians as possible, while you take cowardly refuge behind your own civilians – you continue to inspire us to hold strongly onto our unity. Whatever disputes we Jews may have with each other, we now know that we have one common goal: we will defeat you.

But we are offering you now one last chance. Within 24 hours, all rocket fire – and I mean all rocket fire – will cease. Completely. Forever.

I give you formal notice that our tanks are massed at the Gaza border, with artillery and air support at the ready. We have already dropped leaflets over the northern parts of the Gaza strip, warning civilians of our impending arrival, and that they should evacuate southward, forthwith. If you fail to meet our ultimatum, we are coming in, and, with God’s help, this time we will not leave. Every centimeter of land that we conquer will be annexed to Israel, so that there will *never* be another attack launched at our civilians from there.

Even so, we will continue to keep the door open to allow you to surrender gracefully. The moment you announce that you are laying down arms, we will halt our advance, and there we will draw our new borders. If you continue to attack our citizens, we will continue to roll southwards, driving you out of territory that you will never again contaminate.

Oh, Worthy, Worthy, Worthy...

This speech has been reportedly circulating since 2014. I know people don't like snopes that much, but this is a pretty verifiable event, if it happened. There is no record that Netanyahu has ever made these remarks. What's posted above is a slightly abridged version of the likely original. (HERE).

I continue to be extremely disappointed in this section of Worthy News. Much here can be verified in minutes, yet it gets published as-is. Who oversees this stuff?

it is the only way to fix the problem though Ted....   sad as that is to say.   And from what I read in the Bible toward the end if the Israelis don't do it God will do it himself.

Which is completely irrelevant. This is about actually reporting what is said, not falling for fake news or reporting rumours.

Are you saying that he did not make these statements?   Not when but at all?

Yes.

I got skeptical when I googled the speech to find an alternate source and did not find anything that matched. Snopes has an article on this specific speech and I checked their source links. I cannot find the OP words, as written, in any mainstream news source (and this would not be something they would try to bury). The second link in my first reply goes to the reputed original source of the words. The speech showed up around 2014, the last time there was large conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Anything spoken by Netanyahu in the their own parliament would be of record.

I did read earlier today that there are false posts going around from Bibi with stuff he didn't say...

If he didn't say it at all that's a problem.    I thought he had said it or something like it in 2014 or 15 time period.
