NUTTY NADLER: Rep. Jerry: Netanyahu Worst Jewish Leader in 2,000 Years

During an installment of Politico’s “Playbook Deep Dive” podcast, Representative Jerry Nadler voiced poignant criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, drawing a historical parallel to a figure from the Hasmonean dynasty over 2,000 years ago.

The New York Democrat said Netanyahu has “got only one competitor for the worst Jewish leader in history, and that would be the Hasmonean king [John Hyrcanus II] who in the first century B.C., in order to help him in a factional dispute, invited in the Romans.”

Nadler also charged on the podcast that “Netanyahu is doing everything he can to sabotage the peace talks, even at the cost of the hostages.”

The congressman emphasized that Netanyahu “has every motive for keeping the war [in Gaza] going as long as possible. Because when the war is over, number one, there’ll be a commission of inquiry. Number two, there’ll be an election, and he’s polling at about 20%. And number three, he’ll have to face the felony charges that are outstanding against him.”

In addition, Nadler slammed Netanyahu for insisting on “this Rafah operation, which is absurd. You can’t defeat that kind of an enemy that way, as we discovered in Mosul [Iraq] and, for that matter, in Vietnam.”

“The proper thing to do is… negotiate a ceasefire deal in which Arab troops from Saudi Arabia, the UAE [United Arab Emirates], other places come in and occupy Gaza,” Nadler asserted, advocating for a diplomatic approach endorsed by the Biden administration.

While Nadler voiced harsh criticism of Netanyahu’s actions, he refuted claims of genocide in the Gaza conflict, asserting that although casualties are regrettable, the term “genocide” is “absolutely invalid” in this context.
