"John Oliver discusses Benjamin Netanyahu's grip on power in Israel, why he's allied with some of the most extreme voices in his country today, and finally, a summary of one iconic meltdown we think TikTok is gonna wanna revisit."
This is another post for which the "middle-finger-worthy" tag is not remotely strong enough.
About the worst insult I can think of for Benjamin Netanyahu is that he is essentially Israel's Donald Trump. And it's more accurate than one might think.
John Oliver: "Look, it is very clear that Netanyahu is desperate to stay in power and will do whatever it takes, which on a personal level makes sense. If you are facing a potential prison term, you probably want every bit of leverage you can get to avoid that happening. But some Israelis do recognize the dynamic at work here and are understandably furious about it."
Take that statement there, replace "Netanyahu" with "Trump" and "Israelis" with "Americans," and you would not have to change any of the other words for the statement to remain 100% accurate. Saying that Netanyahu is Israel's Trump is equally as accurate as saying that Trump is America's Hitler, i.e. another comparison that could be made with Netanyahu.
