Netanyahu to Greta: ISIS, Hamas Are ‘Branches of the Same Poison Tree’

“Hamas and ISIS, they are not twins, but they are brothers. I called them branches of the same poison tree. These are radical Islamic movements. And they use some of the same methods.

Look at this. I brought this picture. And when your viewers look at this, they might think this is ISIS about to carry out an impending execution. But it’s not. This is taken roughly at the same time of the ISIS beheadings, except it happened not in Syria or Iraq, but in Gaza. And this Hamas executioner is about to execute one of dozens of Palestinians that they killed in order to instill their campaign of fear over the population of Gaza.

Now, there are some differences. Hamas beheads people, or rather ISIS beheads people and Hamas puts a bullet in their head. But if you are the victim or their family, the horror is the same. So they use the same tactics. And they also have the same goal of dominating the world with this terrible Islamist conception. And I think they should be fought.

We fought Hamas. Now you are fighting ISIS. But I think we shouldn’t lose sight of — in the cracks, we shouldn’t let Iran, the ultimate Islamist power, to get the ultimate power.”
