Netanyahu: Israel Will No Longer Abrogate The Battlefield Of Media And Propaganda
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told FNC’s Mark Levin that Israel will do more to fight on the battlefields of media and propaganda in response to “Neo-Nazis.”
MARK LEVIN: Let me ask you this. You see, as the prime minister of the only Jewish state-what’s going on in Europe with antisemitism? What’s going on in the United States? You see it growing. You see certain political parties overseas that are actually embracing aspects of this. You see countries that are turning on the Jews, turning on Israel, trying to get you prosecuted and thrown in prison, and things of this sort. Give us-what goes through your mind when you see this? PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: Our alliance with America-you know that there’s a roar that is heard around the earth. That’s what’s happening now. Now, does that fight back the antisemites in a way? Yes, because antisemitism targets the Jews because they’re prominent, but weak. Well, we’re not weak. And the world has been habituated to the Jew as a victim. Perfect victim. During our centuries of wandering, we were massacred, pogromed, expelled, and exiled, and finally burned in the ovens of Auschwitz. So the world got used to us as a perfect victim. Now they have to get used to us as an equal among the nations. And we will not be slaughtered again. And the social media that is falsifying this-why should we not be on that battlefield as well? Why should we abrogate? We’ve long abrogated this battlefield, but I intend to change that. I’m not gonna let these lies continue unchallenged. And just as they spread lies, we’ll spread truth. But to the media-your colleagues, not all of them, but a lot of them-you know what I say? Shame on you. You should be ashamed of yourself. That’s not journalism. That’s not ethical. That’s succumbing to the worst propaganda. It’s like, “Oh well, we got some reports from Goebbels.” He was the minister of disinformation for the Nazi regime, and that’s what these are. These are neo-Nazis.
