Guess who was in a Jewish militant group in British-occupied Palestine?
Netanyahu's parents. They changed their name from something Polish to the much more semitic Netanyahu and emigrated in Palestine in the 1920s with the express idea of creating a Jewish state.
Netanyahu and his family did not suffer from the Holocaust, they benefited from it.
Ugh. I knew they were an old family, just didn't know it was that bad.
Far too few people know and I don't blame them or you for not knowing because it's in Netanyahu's interest to make people think he's also a victim and the ever-compliant media plays along.
The only reason I even know is that one day I decided to look up his family and see what happened to them during WWII. So if I hadn't, sort of on a whim, taken the initiative to look it up, I would be as in the dark about it as most people.
And I wish there were a way for me to let people know beyond "talk about it on internet forums," but I don't have that sort of influence.
It's not even a widely known fact amongst Jews. For the record, I was raised Jewish (don't really practice, not a big organized religion fan anyways) and I went on birthright back in January '20. Nothing was ever mentioned about the Netanyahu history aside from some stuff about his brother, who is widely regarded over there as a war hero. I know there's a bit of controversy over his death but not sure on details. I should really go research that.
I'm also a non-religious Jew, so yeah, I get that.
