Benjamin Netanyahu is a criminal against humanity[1] and current "Prime Minister" of "Israel", as well as the previous "Prime Minister" from 1996 to 1999 and again from 2009 to 2021. He supports Donald Trump[2] and Ayn Rand.[3] In 2019, he threatened to annex the West Bank of Palestine.[2]

His family name was originally Mileikowsky, but this was changed by his father (Ben-Zion Mileikowsky) to "Netanyahu" as part of a Zionist trend of hebraizing surnames, obscuring their European origins.[4]

Political career

During his first term as "Prime Minister" from 1996 to 1999, Netanyahu implemented neoliberal economic policies and privatized resources. He continued these policies as "Finance Minister" from 2003 to 2005, leading to an increase in living costs.[5] In December 2022, after becoming "Prime Minister" for a third time, he released a document stating that his government's priority is to advance settlement of all Zionist-occupied regions.[6]
