Israel is subject to ‘triple standard,’ Netanyahu claims

Switching gears to anti-Semitism, he notes claims against Jews and the Jewish state, like blood libels and organ harvesting.

“We must speak out against the slander of the Jewish people and the Jewish state,” he says.

“We can and must fight lies, and the only ways you fight lies is by telling the truth,” he adds, getting exciting and being met with raucous applause.

He says Israel is not perfect and is judged by a standard of perfection that “no country could possibly meet.”

He adds that doing so is a form of anti-Semitism, and isn’t even a double standard but a triple standard.
