Fleishman: "The problem is not Netanyahu, but hatred of Jews"

Panelist Itamar Fleishman rejected on the Patriots program claims in the left-wing media that replacing Netanyahu with Eisenkot would improve public opinion in the US. According to him, the problem is not Netanyahu but hatred of Jews, and he called this thinking 'childish'.

During the Patriots program on Channel 14, panelist Itamar Fleishman addressed claims in the left-wing media that public opinion in the United States toward Israel would improve if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were replaced by MK Gadi Eisenkot. Fleishman rejected these claims and argued that the problem is not personal but stems from hatred of Jews. According to him, any Israeli leader who acts militarily would receive the same hostile treatment, and that the Democratic Party in the US is antisemitic. He called the analyses in the media, particularly on Channel 12, 'attempts at self-persuasion' and 'childish thinking', and added that this is proof that they should not be allowed near power.
