So much misinformation! Reposting from the other thread:

Here’s what Netanyahu said:

> [@](#):
>
> כל המקומות שהחמאס מסתתר בהם ופועל בתוכם - נהפוך אותם לעיי חורבות. אני אומר לתושבי עזה, צאו משם עכשיו

An accurate translation reads, ‘All the places that Hamas hides in and operates from - we will turn them into rubble. I am telling the citizens of Gaza, leave these places now.’

He’s talking about destroying specific buildings.

Netanyahu is odious and vile. I feel dirty for having had to defend him, and will never forgive you for making me do so 😛
