But Netanyahu never fails to use any opportunity, even an atrocity like Paris, to the advantage of Israel.
Just as he did with the 911 bombings.
Israel's Prime Minister has been criticised for his "opportunism" and trying to "cash in" on the Paris attacks by drawing parallels between Friday's atrocity and the continuing violence in the West Bank.
Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that international leaders should condemn attacks against Israelis in the occupied West Bank just as they have the bloodshed in Paris, which left 129 people dead and hundreds injured, many of whom are in a critical condition.
Just as he used the 911 attacks in a very repellent manner: The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel.
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."
Mary Hughes-Thompson @Mariapalestina I haven't accused Israel of involvement. Still, Bibi is upset about the European settlement boycott. So who knows?
