This was one of Benjamin Netanyahu’s main arguments in his address at the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday: Israel is fighting against the barbarians who threaten global civilization, in order to protect it. It was one of his most arrogant arguments. This wasn’t the first time that the prime minister has used this argument. In 2024, he spoke about “savage enemies.” That’s also how most Israelis view it. Barbarians or savages: Netanyahu, who is responsible for mass murder, has lost the right to talk about barbarity. When people today speak of barbarity in the world, Israel is in the Top 10.
