Netanyahu’s Jesus Remark Sparks Outrage: ‘One of the Most Disgusting Anti-Christian Comments I’ve Heard From a World Leader’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday (March 19) delivered a press conference amid the war between the US-Israel and Iran. Even as he spoke about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, a comment he made about Jesus Christ and Genghis Khan sparked a row, with many accusing Netanyahu of being “anti-Christian.”
In his address, Netanyahu said: “Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. If you are strong enough, ruthless enough, and powerful enough, evil will overcome good.” His comments seemed to come in reference to a 2019 interview where he summarized historian Will Durant’s book “The Lessons of History.”
The clip of Netanyahu’s remark went viral, with many interpreting the comments as anti-Christian.
“This is one of the most disgusting anti-Christian comments I’ve heard from a world leader. Just another example of Netanyahu exposing his anti-Christian beliefs. And many Christians will again choose to ignore it,” one user said. . .
“Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough… evil will overcome good.”
