Netanyahu attacks Europe again

Hannity: Europe is a continent in decline.

Netanyahu: I agree with you. And, you know, I'm not sure they'll defend themselves.

Netanyahu:

I think that if we cut the Iran threat down to size, we're going to get a lot of peace treaties.

Netanyahu:

They asked him, "Why are you studying Arabic?" He said, "Because I want to be able to go to London and Paris."

If you lose control over your borders, you lose control over your fate and your destiny and your future.

Netanyahu:

Israel is a very advanced country, and you can live in an African country and go to Tel Aviv to work there, and in one day you'll be earning a year's salary.

So we were like a vacuum cleaner. Everything was moving into our borders, and within a short time we'd have illegal immigration, and that's the end of Israel.

So I put up a fence. I put up a fence and brought illegal immigration down to zero.

At the same time, we went into Africa to take our Ethiopian brothers and sisters and bring them to Israel. So it wasn't a racial thing.

Netanyahu:

Who is on the right side of civilization? Who supports these barbarians?

Israel is fighting the war against barbarism. Israel is fighting the war for civilization. And we're being vilified.

But I tell young Americans, you know, here's one thing you should do. Just check the facts. Check the facts and don't be deceived by this campaign.

Don't be taken in for suckers. You're smart people. Just check the facts.

Netanyahu:

You should stop illegal immigration.

I think it's kind of late for many countries in Europe.

Hannity: As these other countries in the region are attacked by Iran, are they reaching out and wanting to partner with Israel?

Netanyahu: More than you think. More than I can say.

Hannity: If they never stopped Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, how do you control the Strait of Hormuz then? You have no leverage. It's over.

Netanyahu: You don't. But I'm a lot more optimistic because I see the spirit of our people. They're so brave.

According to preliminary information, Russia used a missile supplied by North Korea in the attack on Radushne.
