I say we call netanyahu antisemitic. He is doing such a shit job that it's bringing down the country's entire standing.

Ackchyually, he technically is. Semites, though now a defunct term, applied to any people that spoke a Semitic language.Arabs, Phoenicians, Jews, etc. It's only after WW2 people erroneously assumed it meant just Jewish people—due to certain events at the time—and the term remained alive and evolved that way.

So in a traditional sense, Little Ben is becoming his own Little Hitler.
