Netanyahu wrote on the X platform: "Another fake news story (this time) about my attitude toward Christians," adding, "Let's be clear, I did not insult Jesus Christ during my press conference."
He continued, "On the contrary, I quoted the great American historian Will Durant," noting that this individual, "a great admirer of Jesus Christ (...) emphasized that morality alone is not enough to guarantee survival."
Speaking at a press conference Thursday evening, Netanyahu quoted Durant, saying, "History, unfortunately, proves that Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong, ruthless, and powerful enough, evil will triumph over good."
These remarks sparked a wave of criticism on social media, particularly from believers who expressed their dismay at the comparison between Jesus Christ and Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire in the 13th century.
While The Israeli army spokesman said the army intends to escalate its military operations and increase pressure on Hezbollah and Lebanon, noting that the next phase will see an expansion of the ground operation in southern Lebanon in the next few days.
The spokesman explained that Israeli forces have so far carried out attacks targeting about two thousand targets inside Lebanese territory, resulting in more than a thousand civilian deaths and thousands injured, and a million displaced refugees stressing that the army is continuing to carry out more strikes as part of what he described as efforts to weaken Hezbollah’s military capabilities.
AS WELL Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced on Wednesday that the army had bombed and destroyed two more bridges on the Litani River in Lebanon, noting that Hezbollah had been using them to smuggle weapons south.
no comments, except that Israel using messianic and religious dogma and ideology is openly trying to annex a major part of Lebanon and empty it from all its indigenous people, an old Godly dream coming true.
As always my many thanks to all.
