  • A video clip purportedly showing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu telling Hillary Clinton that he wants to maximize civilian causalities was widely circulated online in April 2016: This video is actually a spoof that first aired as part of a satirical segment of the Netherlands-based television show De Wereld Draait Door on 21 November 2012. The video was created by editing together real footage with audio clips from various speeches to make appears as though Netanyahu was openly calling to maximize civilian causalities while Clinton, then the U.S. secretary of state, stood idly by. It is true that Hillary Clinton and Benjamin Netanyahu met in November 2012 to talk about a truce in the Gaza strip: The spoof video used recordings from this meeting. In the video of the real event, embedded below, Netanyahu can be heard saying that he wanted to minimize civilian casualties whereas the terrorist enemies of Israel are doing everything in their power to maximize civilian casualties: Several Jewish leaders condemned the satirical video shortly after it aired in 2012: (en)
