Netanyahu’s lineage to barbarism | Soumaya Ghannoushi | MEE Opinion

Описание: Soumaya Ghannoushi, a writer and expert in Middle East politics, argues that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks in referencing Genghis Khan elevate conquest and violence above the moral teachings of Jesus Christ.

Ghannoushi points out that when Netanyahu claimed, “Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan", he was rejecting the principles of mercy and the sanctity of life in favour of a “campaign of obliteration".

She emphasises that this is not merely just rhetoric but a functional strategy in action, citing recent restrictions on Christians to celebrate in Jerusalem and Israel’s two-year genocidal war in Gaza.
