[Video] Israeli FM confronted at National Press Club Every act of aggression and invasion by every power is legitimized by calling it "defense". The Nazis were "defending" Germany when they launched their attacks, as was Russia in their attack in Afghanistan, as was the US when it attacked and decimated Vietnam. Now it is the terrorist state of Israel, guilty of massive war crimes, that is calling its aggression and invasion, its blockades, use of banned weapons, and targeting of civilians "defense".
