Benjamin Netanyahu says he's "been against Iran for almost 40 years" while urging US to confront Iran

According to a September 1 report, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Channel 12 that he had spent years pressing the United States to join Israel in confronting Iran, crediting his extensive television exposure and familiarity with American leaders for helping make that happen. The report framed the comments as echoing antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish influence over U.S. policy, noting criticism from the Anti-Defamation League. Separately, the report said National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted and later deleted an AI-generated video showing Palestinians sent to Nazi-style concentration camps, a comparison the article called an antisemitic trope. The developments matter because Israeli officials are being accused of promoting narratives that watchdog groups say fuel antisemitism.
