Axios: Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu mocked President Biden’s physical appearance during a Facebook live session with supporters on Sunday and imitated him falling asleep.
Why it matters: This is an unprecedented move by Netanyahu who just a few months ago was still the prime minister and is trying to make a political comeback.
Driving the news: Several weeks ago, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud Party shared on social media an edited video of Biden’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Twitter and insinuated Biden fell asleep during the meeting.
- The tweet went viral in Israel, especially among Netanyahu supporters, and had more than 5 million views. Fact checks by Reuters and other news outlets concluded the video, which was shared on social media in the U.S., was misleading. As a result, Twitter designated the tweet by Netanyahu’s crony as “manipulated content.”
- During a Facebook live session on Sunday, Netanyahu echoed that tweet when he spoke about Bennett’s meeting with Biden. “I heard Biden was very attentive to what Bennett had to say… He dropped his head in agreement,” Netanyahu said while imitating Biden and dropping his head.
What they are saying: After the Israeli press reported about the Facebook Live session, Netanyahu issued a statement blaming the media for showing “a manipulative picture” and denied he criticized Biden.
- “Former Prime Minister Netanyahu knows and cherishes president Biden as a friend of Israel for 40 years. His criticism was directed only at Naftali Bennett who spoke at length about nothing during his visit to the White House,” Netanyahu’s Likud Party said in a statement.

Keep making saying what you like about the Usurers. You in the West are Zionist Slaves who are absolutely committed to their god’s word that they are the Chosen One ” and that they may do to gentiles whatever they like ” kill their men, women, and children “. All the World’s problems come from the chosen ones’ bankers. Nationalize the Banks and you will find you have taken the sting out of the scorpion’s tail. Enough is enough.
Bibi will soon regret his undiplomatic comment.
“I heard Biden was very attentive to what Bennett had to say… He dropped his head in agreement,”
When you drop your head like that, you concede that it’s indeed very hard to argue with an idiot like that and you let him finish.
Like in 2011 when Sarkozy said to Obama about Bibi on an open mic at G20 “Netanyahu, I can’t stand him. He’s a liar” to which Obama replied “You’re sick of him? I have to work with him every day.”
Just on the VT portion, B.N. said Naftali put Joe to sleep?
