The leader of the Zionist party "Likud" and former "Israeli" Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu has described the 9/11 attacks as "very good for Israel."
"We have benefited from the attacks on the twin towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, as well as from the American war in Iraq. Those events tilted American public opinion in our favour, "- said the leader of the Zionist right.
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq. These events swung American public opinion in our favor," said the leader of the Zionist right.
His words quoted by Jewish newspaper "Ma'ariv", the Palestinian Information Center reports. Netanyahu made the comments recently during a conference at Bar-Ilan University on the future of Occupied Jerusalem.
In a televised interview soon after the landmark 9/11 attack, Netanyahu remarked that "this is good for Israel,' but prevaricated when asked by the interviewer how he could describe a horrible act as being good.
The Palestinian Information Center points out in this connection that in 2001, former head of Zionist regime Ariel Sharon was said that "the Jewish people control America and the Americans knew it."
