Insights into Netanyahu’s Revealing Discussion with Triggernometry

Benjamin Netanyahu recently partook in a 43-minute discussion alongside Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster of Triggernometry. Amidst the conversation, Netanyahu hinted at insights that an imminent inquiry will reveal. This piece explores the major talking points from the interview as well as my personal observations.

Another line of thought that Netanyahu presents isn’t about direct confrontation but rather the country’s necessity for self-sustenance in case of a conflict with Iran. An impending investigation, he mentions, will illuminate these matters more clearly. Being privy to this information in advance leaves me intrigued about the veracity of the claims to be concluded.

One intriguing revelation by Netanyahu is Israel’s financial assistance to the residents of Gaza, claiming it as an effort to ensure their protection, nourishment, and welfare. Such assertions seem somewhat questioning. Could Israeli authorities be oblivious to the fact that the majority of this aid would be channeled to Hamas rather than ordinary Gaza inhabitants?

Following the path of this funding, it emerges that the funds facilitated the development of an extensive terror tunnel network by Hamas. Given this, it could be inferred that Israel might have inadvertently bankrolled undertakings that it considers to be a potential threat.

Netanyahu makes another profoundly relevant point: the recognition of Palestine as an independent state by European nations seemingly aids Hamas to perpetuate their defiance. He argues that these countries display vulnerability, easily yielding to the pressure exerted by ‘radical minority protesters’.

Moderators Kisen and Foster bring up the inevitable question about the considerable casualties and struggle endured by Palestinians. Netanyahu’s response, while firm, skirts around the severe reality. He insists regardless of their relation to terrorism, Gazans are human lives that carry significance.

While acknowledging that some Israeli officials have made statements they perhaps ‘didn’t mean,’ Netanyahu doubles down on the fact that Israeli soldiers try to minimize civilian casualties. He elaborates, stating it is not Israel’s intent to invade and occupy Gaza permanently.

Netanyahu’s vision for Gaza involves a civilian-led government that neither tolerates nor initiates acts of terror. In his idealistic view, neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority meets this criterion and, thus, are unfit to lead.

American youth, in Netanyahu’s opinion, should assess conclusively whom they are endorsing, whether it’s terror factions, Iran, or individuals aiming to assassinate key figures, such as President Trump. Netanyahu also clarifies he doesn’t wish for American military interference in Israel.

The phrase, ‘We are the litmus test for the survival of the West,’ as uttered by Netanyahu, encapsulates a deeper truth. It underscores the Israeli situation’s contextual significance and its ripple effect on Western nations’ existence.

The question of peaceful cohabitation with individuals harboring deep-seated hatred poses a significant challenge. In response to this query by Triggernometry host, Netanyahu opines that the solution lies in a comprehensive ‘program of deradicalization’ to be undertaken post-war.

The crux of Netanyahu’s argument can be distilled into three core elements: history, history, and history. Understanding the past is critical, he argues, because ‘if you don’t know how we got here, you don’t know how to proceed from here.’

Moreover, Netanyahu emphasizes the importance of taking annihilation threats seriously, specifically those present in Hamas’s charter. Similarly, he suggests that open admissions of potential nuclear weapon use by states like Iran should not be dismissed lightly.
