I still don’t understand how saying Benjamin Mileikowsky is committing a genocide against the semitic people who have lived there for thousands of years is antisemitic…
Dude speaks Hebrew and changed his last name to Netenyahu, that doesn’t change his DNA.
He’s a Polish guy committing genocide, saying that is in no way antisemitism.
Dude speaks Hebrew and changed his last name to Netenyahu [sic]
Point of order: Benjamin Netanyahu was born “Benjamin Netanyahu” in Tel Aviv in 1949. His father, Benzion (born 1910), changed his surname from Mileikowsky after migrating to Mandatory Palestine in the 1920s from Warsaw. Never at any point was Benzion’s son “Benjamin Mileikowsky”.
If you’re going to make this into an argument, at least bother to get basic facts right.
Lmao, couldn’t have picked a more “European guy rolling a Jewish character” name (I know he was already Jewish, yet it still smacks of European exoticization. I don’t know what the word is for “Middle-eastifying”, if there is one). Add him to the party with Johnchrist and Alimuhammed.
Ol’ Benzion was born in 1910, when an Israeli state wasn’t even on the distant horizon, or much more than an imaginary “Promised Land” told of in the Old Testament, in a time when European Jews had spent centuries being persecuted from the Russian Empire to the UK, and were still being bounced from pillar to post with a lot of pogroms in between. Some got lucky, like the Rothschilds, but a lot more did not. Many were just killed for being Jewish. Many more were thrown out of cities and towns on the whim of racists.
That was the reality for European Jews in 1910. Benzion’s parents simply named him after their own dream, at a time when that dream was as far off to them as waking up on the moon would have been. It would have been a way to keep a symbol of something they longed for – security and safety – in their environment in a time when there was precious little of that for them and their kind. Also, I don’t know if you’ve seen some of those old-timey names yourself, Zebedee, but Benzion is infinitely better than some others I’ve heard.
I’m not Jewish and never have been, but even this goy knows that much about their history. Laugh your ass off all you want, but there’s more to the story.
I’m going to ask you to politely and with an open mind reread what you just quoted with the knowledge that Nathan Mileikowsky is Benjamin Netanyahu’s paternal grandfather and that Benzion Netanyahu (né Mileikowsky) is Benjamin Netanyahu’s father.
