| WATCH: Netanyahu reveals 'thirsty fish scandal' in humorous new campaign ad |
| 2015-02-08 |
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to a series of news reports about alleged misuse of public funds at his residences for the first time Saturday night in a video clip his campaign released online. Clip attached to article The clip mocked reports about his wife, Sara, allegedly pocketing and only later returning money received from redeeming alcoholic- beverage bottles and about the large amount of money the Prime Minister's Residence spent on pistachio ice cream. 'Mr. President, Israel is acting to defend its security,' Netanyahu is shown saying on the phone at the beginning of the clip before he is interrupted by an aide saying 'Mr. Prime Minister, there is a new scandal: Snails in the garden!' The aide then interrupts him repeatedly to tell him about 'scandals' such as 'dirty cups in the sink and 'a popsicle that dripped on the sofa.' Netanyahu tells the aide he wants ice cream, but not pistachio. The 'reports' come from two media outlets that have targeted him recently and are owned by Netanyahu critic Noni Mozes. Yediot Aharonot, whose name means 'recent reports' in Hebrew, is called 'Lying Reports' on the masthead of the paper reporting the 'scandals' and Ynet is called 'Lie-net.' 'They are trying to distract you from what really matters with nonsense,' Netanyahu says at the end of the clip. 'But we deal with the important things: Who will secure the security of our children? Who will make our economy grow?' Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog responded with his own video explaining why he has not released his own amusing clips. Because you're a stupid & humorless little shit --- like all leftards? |
