Netanyahu says pro-Palestine protestors are 'Iran's useful idiots'

Anti—Israel protestors stand with “Hamas..rapists and murderers,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a sharp rebuke to pro-palestinian demonstrators.

Netanyahu fired back at critics of Israel and its war on Gaza, saying “they should be ashamed of themselves”.

He cited a US intelligence official who said Iran was funding the protests and sought to sow discord in the US. 

He called the demonstrators "Iran's useful idiots," and said they failed history.
