Why the Western liberal elites hate Benjamin Netanyahu
Conservative Woman ^ | 5 Feb 2024 | Neil Turner

Posted on 02/06/2024 3:18:36 AM PST by Rummyfan

IF YOU’VE been watching the situation in Israel, you’ll have noticed a contradiction. On the one hand, the Americans, the British, Australian and EU politicians and officials have been queuing up for photo opportunities on the Gaza border to express their solidarity against the horrific Hamas attack of October 7. On the other hand, in almost every case and the passage of a few days – even minutes – the same people effectively blamed Israel in general and PM Benjamin Netanyahu in particular for causing the problem by oppressing the ‘poor Palestinians’ and failing to provide Statehood.

Confused? Let me explain.

Since a free and fair democratic election in November 2022, Netanyahu has led Israel’s coalition government. One of his primary campaign goals was to clip the wings of Israel’s Supreme Court, which shockingly has greater powers than its elected government, as expertly explained by Eugene Kontorovich.

By seeking to restore the democratic balance over unelected judges, Netanyahu drew the ire of Israel’s liberal, secular anti-Zionist elite – a group I estimate at over 95 per cent in its MSM (read Times of Israel, Jerusalem Post or watch any TV outlet), many retired Israel Defense Forces (IDF) generals, senior security intel and backroom oligarchs. You may have seen reports of the mass demos in Tel Aviv’s streets last year protesting against Netanyahu’s ‘attack on democracy’, when actually he was defending it. Ironic.....

Blinken is on his sixth visit to Israel and you can bet a large sum he’ll offer mealy-mouthed ‘support’, whilst imposing new threats against Israel’s war fighting, placing IDF soldiers at increased risk in close combat, pressuring for more re-supply of Hamas aka ‘Gazan aid’, with veiled (rumoured) threats of diminishing ammunition deliveries. Anecdotal reports on i24 sourced from Israeli intelligence suggest Hamas steals 60 per cent of the aid convoys, thus prolonging the war.

The British, under WEF-sponsored ‘Lord’ Cameron (did you vote for him?), the EU (did anyone vote for them?), the Australians (led by Foreign Affairs Minister, Penny Wong), Spain, South Africa all ape this behaviour.

Shocking! I'm shocked. Are you shocked that this could happen?

He’s Jewish. There is almost nobody more intolerant of Judeo-Christianity than liberals.

Obama has always hated Israel and Bibi.

Probably because of the Muslim thing.

True at the macro level.

But at the micro level, he has been indoctrinated/brainwashed by his political party, which has been completely taken over by Marxists/collectivists.

Marxists hate religion because it competes with them for control (whether such religion is true or merely fabricated).

An exception to Marxists' hatred of religion is their tolerance of Islam. It appears that Islam is tolerated because it can be used as a cudgel to destroy a more immediate religious force, Judeo-Christianity.

Side note: As soon as Marxists have destroyed Judeo/Christianity, Islam and Muslims will be eliminated. This is thought to be an easier task because Islam is so obviously nothing more than a primitive human fabrication.

He’s a damned fool if he’s making plans that include the U.S. sticking by him through a total war with Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq and probably others. Netanyahu will leave greater Israel occupying an area from river to sea or Israel will most likely be destroyed. I fear the latter.

There’s probably no difference between Netanyahu and those “Western liberal elites.” He’s a career political hack with an Ivy League education. His U.S. contemporary from his earlier years living in Boston was none other than Mitt Romney. They seem like two peas in a pod to me.

Hitler like Islam because of it’s ability to control the population. That’s probably why the left likes Islam, because they see it as a means to control the population if they themselves can get control of Islam.

“There’s probably no difference between Netanyahu and those “Western liberal elites.”

You have no idea what you are talking about. Google Bibi and his brother’s military history over in Israel, where they were both war heroes, and his brother died in combat. You are full of it. And he kept Israel relatively safe in a very bad neighborhood for years. What did you do in life to match his, hmmmm?

With explanatory links:

Confused? Let me explain.

Since a free and fair democratic election in November 2022, Netanyahu has led Israel’s coalition government. One of his primary campaign goals was to clip the wings of Israel’s Supreme Court, which shockingly has greater powers than its elected government, as expertly explained by Eugene Kontorovich.

By seeking to restore the democratic balance over unelected judges, Netanyahu drew the ire of Israel’s liberal, secular anti-Zionist elite – a group I estimate at over 95 per cent in its MSM (read Times of Israel, Jerusalem Post or watch any TV outlet), many retired Israel Defense Forces (IDF) generals, senior security intel and backroom oligarchs. You may have seen reports of the mass demos in Tel Aviv’s streets last year protesting against Netanyahu’s ‘attack on democracy’, when actually he was defending it. Ironic. What you probably didn’t see, because the MSM suppressed the reports, were massive numbers of Israelis on the streets supporting the PM and his government’s move against the judges. I monitor the Israeli TV channel i24NEWS daily and witness this censorship and maligning. This demonstrates what we’ve seen for ourselves all over the West in the covid era – the gap between the people and the establishment elite, as evidenced by ‘experts’ drawn from whatever source fits the establishment agenda, with no balancing counter-argument given airtime. 

The Americans jumped on the bandwagon too. Biden sought to interfere in Netanyahu’s stand against Israel’s Supreme Court. Shockingly, Biden refused to invite him to the White House, something no American President to my knowledge has ever done. 

Come October 7 the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, tripped over himself to get to Israel. Remember how the Carrier Battle Group was immediately deployed to the eastern Mediterranean to ‘threaten Iran’, and Biden’s threat, ‘don’t!’ supposedly directed at Iran? Hmm. We witness Blinken’s regular shuttle diplomacy, publicly voicing support for Israel’s war while in the next breath imposing more restrictions on how the IDF should prosecute it – more aid, smaller bombs, less force, no all-out war against Hezbollah. You’d almost think he wanted Hamas to survive.

Obama’s Middle East policy was to boost Iran and weaken Israel, as evidenced by the billions of dollars sent on pallets to Tehran and the approval of its nuclear programme. Check this link for that and – with the benefit of hindsight – try not to laugh (or cry) out loud. See Caroline Glick’s masterful analysis here. Meanwhile, Biden cancelled Trump’s sanctions while authorising America’s vast buffer stocks of weapons to be moved from Israel to Ukraine. 

Some commentators, myself included, saw that battle fleet deployment not as supporting Israel, but tying Israel’s hands against a pre-emptive strike against Hezbollah, which every day since 7/10, has launched volleys of missiles against Israel’s north, resulting in the permanent evacuation of 80,000 residents from the border towns. Yes, it’s true Israel would probably prefer to fight one battle at a time – to destroy Hamas – but it was unprecedented that America should so publicly meddle in Israel’s right to autonomous, unilateral self-defence.

USA has the communist-nazi-leftist infection BADly, so does UK, Canada, Australia, Israel, France, etcetera. It is killing us.

PS:
A pet peeve...these “deep state” controllers of our destiny are dangerous as all Hell....but they are definitely NOT “liberal” in any traditional or classical sense of the term...-— indeed, they’re the antithesis (opposite) of liberal. Calling them “leftist” is far more accurate. They’re wed to the greatest possible governmental power (in their hands, for their own benefit of course) and control over the lives of citizens/subjects/slaves. They despise individual liberties and representative governance (they don’t want you or me represented or possessed of any influence at all, period). As for free markets, forget it...they want full power over what’s available for purchase and to whom.
None of these things have anything to do with genuine liberalism. Rather, they have a great deal to do with the Communist Manifesto. I’d much prefer to call them what they are, communists, nazis (national socialists), neo-commies, “progressives” maybe, (extreme) leftists, whatever? but definitely NOT liberals.

As even Wiki know,
“Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech.”

Bibi is not a Bolshevik Jew,,,,thise leftists who afre Bolshevik Jews are simply blind and only superficially connected to Judaism.These Bolshevik Jews and their supporters sell out their fellow Jews and work to diconnect them from their unity with YWHW.

Thiese Bolshevik Jews are noting new,,,,,they have been around for thousands if years,,,,,forming the class if ignrant , blind Jews who see the world only as a batye between oppressor and oppressed, These Jews were instruetal in spreading Marxism with their oversimplified application of ideology to a world which os far mor complex than their simplistic commie ideology says.

During WWII in France , these same class of Jews sold out their neighbirs to the Nazis and watch their Jewish neighbirs trucked off to death camps, seeking tio safe theselfs, They were Bolshevik Jews, sometimes called Vichy Jews. Stain used them in his revolution and then turned on them created a diaspora which spread their commie views all over the world.

They are now trying to destroy Bibi, destroy Israel and destroy humanity by allowing Iran to have the ability to destroy free societies with nuclear weapons.

Modern day Bolshevik Jews include George Soros, Adam Shiff, Larry Nadler and Chuck Schumer.They are enemies of humanity.

The globalists won't stop unless we stop them.

Political correctness (wokism) is not a political issue but a spiritual battle. It is the secular humanist elite's religion: see the destruction it has wrought on our society. It is war every bit as real as on the streets of Gaza.

And it is also why they hate the traditional, nationalist Netanyahu, in my opinion one of the finest post-war leaders, who out of necessity is acting militarily to expunge the threat to his nation. His detractors demand he cede – reward terror with Statehood (the Palestinian Authority pays stipends of American dollars to families of the October 7 terrorists under the ‘pay for slay’ policy) – and be disappeared quietly so he can (like Trump, Bolsonaro, Khan and others) be locked away while the globalist project proceeds unopposed. Nation state democracy remains its greatest threat. That is they hate Netanyhu and why Israel's war is our war.

Yep.

Using a fabricated religion to imbue people with guilt when they disobey the rules (even rules organized by the state) is a very effective way to control people, individually and collectively.

It works much better than mere discipline by an atheist state's police force.

Violating state laws and rules doesn't make people feel guilty the way violating religious laws does. In fact, violating state laws with no religious foundation might even give people a sense of satisfaction and pleasure (like they've pulled a "fast one").;-)

Netanyahu is a battle-hardened military veteran who holds multiple degrees from MIT. He is friends with Vladimir Putin. The two of them together with Trump are the only Western leaders with any brains and balls. You are something else entirely.
