@cspanofficial: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday criticized the pro-Palestinian protesters who were demonstrating against his address to Congress. “They should be ashamed of themselves,” he said. “They refuse to make the simple distinction between those who target terrorists and those who target civilians, between the democratic state of Israel and the terrorist thugs of Hamas.” The prime minister referenced a recent revelation from Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines that Iran has been funding campus protests in the U.S. “For all we know, Iran is funding the anti-Israel protests that are going on right now outside this building,” he said. “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 #congress #cspan
