Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking on Fusion, the Hispanic-millenial targeting network, reacted to the J Street campaign in which his caricature appears in a Beyonce pose, captioned “If You Like It, Then You Should Put a Border On It.”

“You’ve never been compared to Beyonce, I’m sure,” interviewer Jorge Ramos says.

“Wow,” Netanyahu says. “There are a few differences, you know.”
