The appropriate, historically accurate comparison is to student protests against South African apartheid and he knows it. Reportedly, those very protests grew into the strong boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement that ended apartheid in South Africa. This is what he fears and what corporate media is actively trying to prevent.

Only people with no information on either the actual history or current situation are going to fall for this baseless slander. Sadly there are probably still a number of those around.

Those shantytowns were obnoxious and they worked.

I was only a kid at the time, so I didn't understand the whole thing. I thought the shantytown on the campus in my town looked cool and I wanted to live there.

I'm just going to drop this letter here.(remember that Likud was a consolidation founded by Begin, of all the far-right parties, including herut.)

It's amazing this guy can keep a straight face.

Comparing things to nazi Germany... Wtf

He's delusional.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Jews and non-Jews to oppose pro-Palestinian protests on campuses across the United States, comparing them to the antisemitism seen in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

"What's happening in America's college campuses is horrific. Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities. They call for the annihilation of Israel, they attack Jewish students, they attack Jewish faculties," he said in a statement posted to X on Wednesday.

Netanyahu's entire party are fascists, and Einstein called them out for being fascists shortly after WW2 (before they rebranded to their current name).

Playing the antisemitic card is all they have left as they have no leg to stand on when critical thought is applied.
