Bibi at his best

Translated from Netanyahu's Hebrew, not by me.

BBC interviewer: "How come so many more Lebanese have been killed in this conflict than Israelis?"

Netanyahu: "Are you sure that you want to start asking in that direction?"

BBC interviewer: "Why not?"

Netanyahu: "Because in World War II more Germans were killed than British and Americans combined, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the war was caused by Germany's aggression. And in response to the German blitz on London, the British wiped out the entire city of Dresden, burning to death more German civilians than the number of people killed in Hiroshima. I also want to remind you that in 1944 when the British wanted to bomb the Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen, your pilots missed the target and burned down a children’s hospital with 83 Danish kids in it. Perhaps you have another question?"
