1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,839
The case against Benjamin Netanyahu. As
the Prime Minister of Israel wages his retaliatory

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:08,720
campaign against Hamas, it is critical
to consider the political position from which he

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,400
is engaging. Number one. Net
Nyahu has been criticized for strengthening Hamas,

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:18,480
using them to weaken the Palestinian authority, and allowing funding to flow into Gaza

5
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:22,559
that potentially aided the very militant group
against which he is now waging war.

6
00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:27,280
Number two. Much like Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyaho is facing an ongoing fraud

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,239
trial. He's also facing charges of
receiving one hundred and ninety five thousand dollars

8
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:35,880
in bribes and breach of trust,
leading some to question whether Benjamin Netanyahu benefits

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,960
from the Nation of Israel's full attention
being shifted to the war on Hamas.

10
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:45,079
Number three. Netanyahu is facing significant
backlash from Jewish Israelis for his Supreme Court

11
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:49,640
reforms that have been described as an
attack on Israel's democracy. Just prior to

12
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:53,960
the attack by Hamas, tens of
thousands of Israelis took to the streets to

13
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:59,679
protest Netanyahu's weakening of their Supreme Court
that he called elitist and liberal. Number

14
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:03,439
four Jewish American activists led by groups
such as If Not Now and Jewish Voice

15
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:08,120
for Peace were arrested after shutting down
entrances to the White House in protest against

16
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:15,040
Benjamin Netanyahu's retaliatory strikes against Hamas.
Number five Benjamin Netanyah, who is wildly

17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,879
unpopular in Israel. While the United
States has pledged unequivocal support for Netanyahu,

18
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,879
eighty six percent of Israeli Jews blame
his government for the surprise attack by Hamas,

19
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,799
ninety four percent believed the government was
responsible for the security breach, and

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,239
fifty six percent of Israelis field net
Nyahu should resign. Number six. Net

21
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,239
Nyahu has been criticized for seemingly absolving
Adolf Hitler of his crimes against the Jewish

22
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,120
people by scapegoating Muslims. Hitler didn't
want to exterminate the Jews at the time.

23
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:46,680
He wanted to expel the Jews.
While historians have refuted this claim,

24
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:52,239
some observers have described this resurface video
as a terrifying pretext to his strikes that

25
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,319
have now claimed the lives of over
one thousand Palestinian children. Number seven.

26
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,519
Egyptian officials claim Netanyahu ignored warnings of
a Hamas operation. Despite Netnyahu calling this

27
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:07,319
fake news and considering Masad's well known
surveillance in Gaza, questions have arisen about

28
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:14,400
Netnyahu's possible intentional oversight and his reasons
for it. Number eight. Netnahu has

29
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:19,360
been described as a far right wing
hardliner who has opposed peace with Palestine at

30
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:23,240
least since the nineteen ninety five Oslo
Accords. Some opposition leaders in Israel have

31
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,560
even accused him of being complicit with
the assassination of then Prime Minister Izak Rabin,

32
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:34,479
being the lead voice in opposition to
the Oslo Accords and by attending rallies

33
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,719
that labeled the slain Prime minister as
a trader. Netnyahu has vehemently denied these accusations.
