Benjamin Netanyahu | Influences (Part 1)

The first part of a three part series focusing on Benjamin Netanyahu. This time? His influences. I want to be clear that I think, like Trump, Netanyahu is a symptom of a much more endemic issue in Israeli politics and society. However I do believe that he is an accelerant to turmoil in the region. chapters follow me :) instagram: / thesillyserious twitter: / joannacrichards youtube: / @blondephilosophy youtube: / @blondepolitics twitch: www.twitch.tv/thesillyserious Annotated References Avineri, A (1981) The Making of Modern Zionism: Intellectual Origins of the Jewish State (very celebrated Israeli political scientist, served as Director-General of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs under Rabin) Bilski Ben-Hur, R.

Footage I searched HIGH and LOW for this footage. Most of it comes from AP archives. A lot of it comes from television archives I access through the library. If you want the reference for a clip let me know and I can find it for you. Other Things -I am aware there is a random knot in my hair for half the video. Please, I don’t want to discuss it. -It would mean a lot if you sub’d, shared, and watched. I’m not monetised, so your attention means everything to me! Your validation is all I will receive in exchange for this video! -As I said, I have plenty of thoughts on the PLO, Hamas, and other related entities. Those thoughts are not directly relevant to my profile on Netanyahu. If you would like to hear them, let me know in the comments. - If you notice something weird about the way I pronounce ‘Lehi’, no you don’t.
