Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a message of support Thursday for Elon Musk after the world’s richest man was accused of making a Nazi salute.
Musk “is being falsely smeared,” Netanyahu wrote on X, the social media platform owned by Musk. “Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre… [and] has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.”
Musk later thanked Netanyahu.
I wish I could upvote this harder. The Jewish people were subjected to horrific evils, but that wasn’t just going to stop with them.
Society did a great job of teaching about the atrocities except to really hammer home that it was the “other” that was the target, not just that single group; they are the first, but wouldn’t be the last if the Nazis were allowed to continue.
It didn’t just stop with them.
Slavs, gypsies, LGBT people (I guess this one actually happened before Jews), some war prisoners, Communists, blacks, etc were targeted and holocausted too.
That’s a good callout on me! I didn’t mean to insinuate it was only that group one at a time, so thank you!
