Israeli officials use Paris attack to target Hamas

TV Channels in Israel described the attack as France’s “9/11” and called the Muslim communities in Europe a “time bomb”.

‘Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made use of the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo to call on the West to support the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and to undermine the EU vote on a Palestinian state in the name of the “war on terror”.

Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s foreign minister, has also called on the West not to remain weak before the “Islamic” terror, which he claims Israel is already fighting. Several Israeli writers also used the Paris attack as an opportunity to incite hatred against Palestinians, rather than one to come together in the mutual fight against extremism.

Netanyahu prominently called for the West to intensify its support for Israel in its war against Islamists, mainly the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which resists the ongoing occupation of Palestine.’
