Netanyahu’s claim of 'ethnic cleansing' sets a Guinness record for chutzpah - Chemi Shalev – Haaretz 10.09.16
After years of fighting the loaded term, the prime minister is pushing it through the front door. If evacuating Jewish settlements for peace is a crime against humanity, then Begin and Sharon were perpetrators and US presidents are all inciters. Includes the video [2.01]

Netanyahu unruffled by critical UN envoy report – Akiva Eldar – Al-Monitor 06.09.16
Neither criticism by UN Middle East envoy Nikolay Mladenov over settlement expansion nor a ruling by Israel's own Supreme Court against the construction of illegal outposts have ruffled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence on portraying Israel as the victim of international persecution.

US slams Netanyahu's 'ethnic cleansing' video, calling it 'inappropriate and unhelpful'
– Barak Ravid – Haaretz 10.09.16
In the video, Netanyahu hinted that the US and other countries that support the uprooting of Israeli West Bank settlements as part of a deal establishing a Palestinian state were supporting the ethnic cleansing of Jews. Includes the video [2:00].

Israel used military censor to conceal first settlements from public, document reveals
