The son of Israeli Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Defense Minister, Immigration Minister and Health Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yair, was briefly banned from Facebook after he shared a series of incendiary posts on the platform last week.
In one of the posts, he claimed that peace would not exist in israel until all Muslims are gone.
Yair Netanyahu has, Al Jazeera noted, “faced criticism of being a grown man living in the prime minister's residence despite having no official role,” causing controversy in his father's administration on multiple occasions.
Chief among those controversies, perhaps, was “strippergate,” which centered around an audio recording of Yair's ride in a government vehicle as he was “drunkenly ping-ponging between strip clubs,” according to Israel's oldest daily newspaper, Haaretz. One of Yair's friends joked that a government security guard would have to be killed if he quit his job because he overheard their conversation.
Last Thursday, Yair wrote on Facebook that there are “no [terrorist] attacks” in Iceland and Japan because there are no Muslims living there. Besides being blatantly untrue, the post was just one of several offensive remarks to come.
“There won't be peace here until: 1. All Jews leave the land of israel. 2. All the Muslims leave the land of Israel,” Yair wrote on Thursday. “I prefer the second option,” he said.
Facebook responded by banning Yair…
