Netanyahu’s Jesus Remark Sparks Outrage: ‘One of the Most Disgusting Anti-Christian Comments I’ve Heard From a World Leader’

/3 Comments/in , , /by

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. . .

“Is there any more proof this guy is pure evil and anti Christian?” wrote another.

Netanyahu Confirms ‘Israel Acted Alone’ in Attack on Iran’s South Pars Gas Field

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that “Israel acted alone” and that President Donald Trump had asked Israel “to hold off on future attacks” after Israel attacked Iran’s South Pars Gas Field.

During a press conference on Thursday, Netanyahu poked fun at online rumors that he was dead, stating that he was “alive.” Netanyahu also gave an update on Operation Roaring Lion, explaining that both Israel and the United States were “acting together in Iran with great determination.”

Netanyahu responded to a question from a reporter who stated that Trump “did not like the Israeli strike on the Iranian gas fields,” and asked if Trump “was aware of Israel striking that gas field.”

“Well, I’ll say two things. Fact number one, Israel acted alone,” Netanyahu answered, referring to the news that Israel had launched airstrikes on Iran’s South Pars Gas Field. “Fact number two, President Trump asked us to hold off on future attacks.”

Netanyahu’s comments came after Trump took to Truth Social to reveal that Israel had “violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran.”

Is Netanyahu’s Coffee Shop Video AI-Made? Grok’s Claim Reignites ‘Dead’ Rumor; ‘100% Deepfake’

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Sunday, amid rumors that he had been assassinated, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video from a coffee shop in Tel Aviv where he debunked claims about his death.

Given that the rumor about Netanyahu’s death originated with claims that a video of him posted on Netanyahu’s official social media accounts was AI-generated, the coffee shop video also sparked similar speculation. On top of it, a claim that Gork, Elon Musk’s X’s chatbot, made, only added to the speculation.

In the previous video, social media users claimed that Netanyahu was purportedly seen with six fingers on his hands. The claims were, however, debunked by Turkey’s Anadolu news agency, which called them a hoax.

As the coffee shop video sparked speculation of a deepfake, Grok said in response to a user’s query that the video is indeed AI-generated. In a follow-up response on the same threat, Grok said the video is “100% deepfake.” Given that the video was released on the official social media accounts of Benjamin Netanyahu, Grok’s response only fueled the row.

“It’s AI-generated,” Grok wrote. “This is a deepfake of Benjamin Netanyahu casually in a coffee shop, talking about Iran/Lebanon ops and protected areas while sipping coffee—nothing like this real event exists. The original post explicitly calls it advanced unreleased AI.”

Trump says he and Israel’s Netanyahu will make ‘mutual’ decision on ending Iran war

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump revealed Monday that he will confer with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about when to end the military campaign against Iran, suggesting the decision would be “mutual” between the US and its Middle Eastern ally.

“I think it’s mutual… a little bit,” Trump told The Times of Israel in a phone interview, adding that he and Netanyahu have “been talking.”

“I’ll make a decision at the right time, but everything’s going to be taken into account,” the president added.

Trump previously suggested that the war against Iran could last approximately four weeks, but other members of his administration have been reluctant to provide a specific timeline.

The president has also demanded “unconditional surrender” from Iran, and the White House has stressed that the objective of the Operation Epic Fury campaign is to degrade Iran’s navy and ballistic missile arsenal as well as ensure the regime does not obtain a nuclear weapon or continue to arm terrorist proxies across the Middle East.

Israeli PM Laughs Off Claim Trump Is Being ‘Dragged’ Into War With Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured Americans on Monday that there won’t be an “endless war” in the Middle East as the United States and Israel continue striking the Iranian regime.

“You’re not going to have an endless war,” Netanyahu told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an exclusive interview. “This terror regime in Iran is at the weakest point that it’s been since it hijacked Iran from the brave Iranian people 47 years ago. So this is going to be a quick and decisive action. And we’re going to create the conditions first for the Iranian people to get control of their destiny, to form their own democratically elected government, which will make a different Iran altogether.”

Netanyahu insisted that the destruction of the Iranian regime would pave the way for “many peace treaties” with other Muslim countries in the region and that it would “change the world.”

Netanyahu specifically cited Saudi Arabia as a nation he believes has “a lot to gain” from the Iranian regime’s fall and that peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel will be “very close” as a result.

“So this is a gateway for peace, for broader peace. And I believe that we can achieve it,” Netanyahu continued. “The most important thing to understand is that when we work together, President Trump and I, we achieved, in fact, four breakthroughs for peace. Brokered by President Trump working together with me, we brokered — we brought forward the Abraham Accords, which was four peace treaties with four Arab countries. And now working together against Iran, we will be able to bring many, many more peace treaties. So this is not an endless war. This is a gateway to peace. It’s the exact opposite of what people are saying.” (Read more from “Israeli PM Laughs Off Claim Trump Is Being ‘Dragged’ Into War With Iran” HERE)

Trump and Netanyahu Discussed Iran in Second Phone Call

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone Thursday evening to discuss the situation in Iran, according to two sources with knowledge of the call.

Why it matters: It’s their second call in two days as Trump reviews his options for a possible military strike or diplomatic negotiations with an Iranian regime rocked by widespread protest and upheaval.

The White House and the prime minister’s office declined to comment.

Driving the news: During their first call on Wednesday, Netanyahu asked Trump to hold off on military action against Iran to give Israel more time to prepare for potential Iranian retaliation.

It was one of the reasons Trump decided to delay orders for the U.S. military to move forward with a strike against Iran. (Read more from “Trump and Netanyahu Discussed Iran in Second Phone Call” HERE)

Trump Backs Netanyahu After Reports of Friction, Talks Tough on Iran: ‘We’ll Knock the Hell Out of Them’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump gave gushing praise to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday — denying reported friction with his counterpart and vowing to “knock the hell out of” Iran if it rebuilds its nuclear program.

“I hear that Iran is trying to build up again, and if they are, we’re gonna have to knock them down. We’ll knock them down. We’ll knock the hell out of them,” Trump said while welcoming Netanyahu to his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla.

“But hopefully that’s not happening. I heard Iran wants to make a deal. They want to make a deal — that’s much smarter. You know, they could have made a deal the last time before we went through a big attack on them, and they decided not to make a deal. They wish they made that deal.”

Trump described the meeting as focused on five major issues, including the implementation of the Trump-brokered October peace deal in Gaza and improving Israeli relations with the new Syrian government.

Once the doors closed for private talks, Netanyahu flattered Trump by announcing that he would bestow upon him the “Israel Prize,” which recognizes cultural achievements in literature, the arts, Jewish studies and other areas.

Israeli Media Poll: Netanyahu’s Approval Ratings at All-Time High Despite Attempts to Block Peace Deal

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to the latest Direct Polls survey, conducted by Shlomo Filber in the wake of the release on Monday of the remaining 20 living hostages held in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approval ratings are at their highest since the elections in Nov. 2022.

The results of the poll were published on Wednesday by Israel’s Channel 14. Where suitability to serve as prime minister is concerned, the poll revealed that 58% of Israelis favor Netanyahu; 22% favor his closest rival, Naftali Bennett; and 11% favor former minister-without-portfolio (and former Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff) Gadi Eizenkot; 4% favor opposition leader and former prime minister Yair Lapid; 4% favor Yisrael Beiteinu Party leader Avigdor Liberman; and 1% favor National Unity Party head Benny Gantz.

The poll also found that if elections were held today, Netanyahu’s ruling coalition would win a 66-seat majority, two more seats than it won in the 2022 elections; opposition parties would garner 43 seats; and the anti-Zionist Arab parties would receive 11 seats. . .

The poll was conducted on Oct. 15, 2025, with 486 participants representing the entire population. Direct Polls was the only polling firm that accurately predicted the results of the 2022 Knesset elections and the 2024 municipal elections.

Israel PM Netanyahu in Court for Graft Trial Appearance

/1 Comment/in , /by

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was back in a Tel Aviv court on Oct 15 for the latest hearing in his long-running corruption trial, which opened in May 2020.

The prime minister kept a smiling face as he and his entourage of several ministers from his conservative Likud party were heckled by protesters en route to the tribunal.

It comes after US President Donald Trump suggested on Oct 13 that the Israeli premier should be pardoned in his three separate corruption cases.

His latest appearance at the Tel Aviv court also follows the return of the hostages taken by Hamas as part of Mr Trump’s US-brokered plan to end the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

In one case, Mr Netanyahu and his wife Sara are accused of accepting more than US$260,000 (S$336,970) worth of luxury goods, including champagne, cigars and jewellery, from billionaires in exchange for political favours.
