Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu called out the media (including CNN, the NY Times, the Guardian and Al Jazeera) in a new video on social media for pushing fake news about the new Hamas charter accepting the state of Israel:

Netanyahu points out that what the media is suggesting about the new charter of Hamas accepting a smaller Palestinian state and thus an Israeli state beside of it is rubbish.
Their charter still says Israel has no right to exist and that every inch of the land of Israel belongs to the Palestinians. They still say that the only acceptable solution is to remove Israel.
Netanyahu explains that the only reason Hamas is entertaining a the idea of smaller Palestinian state right now is to destroy Israel later. He says emphatically that they want to use that smaller state to destroy the state of Israel.
He then asks a great question: Is moving from calling for the genocide of all Jews to calling just for the annihilation of Israel – is that progress or moderation?
Only if you have NO standards whatsoever, Netanyahu argues.
I love the bit at the end where he crumples the Hamas Charter and tosses it in the trash can. I only wish he had also done the same with copies of the CNN and NY Times reports as well.
