Netanyahu: Israel Facing "International Hypocrisy"

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel's raid on a flotilla headed towards Gaza today.  The Jerusalem Post reports that Netanyahu argued that Israel had a "right and obligation to prevent arms from reaching Gaza."

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Wednesday night, made his first public statement to the nation after the IDF raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla, which left nine activists dead and has wreaked havoc in the international media.

Speaking live to the nation, Netanyahu said, "The State of Israel faces an attack of international hypocrisy. This is not the first time we have faced this, two years ago we faced a massive attack of missiles fired by Hamas who hid behind civilians. Israel went to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties but who did the UN condemn? It condemned Israel."
