Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a message of support Thursday for Elon Musk after the world’s richest man was accused of making a Nazi salute.

Musk “is being falsely smeared,” Netanyahu wrote on X, the social media platform owned by Musk. “Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre… [and] has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.”

Musk later thanked Netanyahu.

    I only answered your question, I never said that pretestors in nazi germany was not brutalized. If the comparison was made based on Israel treatment of there own citizens I would agree but here we are talking about Israeli treatment of Palestinians vs Nazi treatment of Jews

      If you’ll go back to the start, you’ll remember the whole thread was about the stupidity of calling Netenyahu a nazi.

      By your logic, anyone that attacks a group of people on any group characteristics is a nazi. Which is goddamn nonsense.

      I get the appeal of calling people doing bad things nazis, but you sound like a child doing so. Worse, it makes it much more difficult for anyone to take our side seriously. (Same way that it is fucking stupid when trump called Harris a communist.)

      My workday is done and you aren’t worth my free time.

      Have a good weekend.

        Natanyaho who compared palestinians to amalek. I never heard such a more clear genocidal statement as that. The bible talks about israelites being asked to kill women, infants and animal. He is responsible of killed ten thousands palestinians, displacing millions and create a famine so yeah the comparison is fair.

        No my logic is a group of people trying to genocide or ethenically cleansing another population can be compared to nazis

        Trust me nobody would stop being pro palestinian because natanyaho and israel are compared to nazis

        I am the one who wasted my time showing all the valid comparisons while you keep bringing irelevant stuffs like democracy. It is reminds me of zionists using the democracy argument to say that there is genocide
