Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett has been all over US media calling for an attack on Iran and assassinating Hamas leaders. But his views are fascistic. He praises war and how it transforms society.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has been a leading advocate for Israel in American media, in the most militarist terms.
On “Meet the Press” last month, Bennett called for the assassination of Palestinian leaders in foreign countries. “These are barbarians, savages.”
On CNN and PBS in recent days, Bennett called for an attack on Iran. “Israel is already at war with Iran… but they are not paying the price… it’s time for action.”
The West has to help Israel to “topple” the “octopus of terror” in Iran, Bennett told PBS:
"We’re already facing regional war. The key is to identify the source of the enemy, and the source of the enemy is Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran is the basis of all of this. It’s like the head of the octopus and I’ve been arguing for years we need to topple this regime for our sake, the sake of the region, the sake of the Iranian people."
As with so many other propagandists for Israel’s wars, American media has granted an anti-Palestinian militarist a platform without scrutinizing his views.
Bennett calls himself a “mainstream liberal.” But his views are fascistic. He praises war and how it transforms society. And he has made vicious statements about killing Arabs.
At a cyber industry conference at Tel Aviv University last month, Bennett said that America became an economic powerhouse after World War II because of that war, but we have now gone soft. And he said the Gaza war was going to forge Israeli society in “patriotism” and “resilience” for the next 50 years leading to economic growth.
Bennett explained America after World War II:
"After 3, 4 years in the war, that generation was embedded with amazing values, of hard work, of determination, of group work, of resilience, of patriotism, of idealism. They carried the United States of America for the next 50 years of amazing growth, the best period of any country in the world."
He said the war in Gaza was doing the same for Israel, “generating these amazing young men and women.”
Prior to the war, “I have to tell you we had exhausted our talent.” But war has restored Israeli “toughness,” Bennett said...MORE...
