Nice job getting this podcast secured but if you’re going to have guests like this then you need to have the courage to press him on the controversial statements he made and bring up counter points that others have said. It seems like this was more of an opportunity for Netanyahu to freely express his beliefs and propaganda. He even said that the settlements were justified because Israel needs more room for its citizens because of overpopulation and you didn’t push back at all. Even when he said that they weren’t removing Palestinians from the land you didn’t push back despite an immense amount of evidence being present that proves Palestinians are removed from their homes and land for Israeli settlers often accompanied by uniformed and undercover IDF. You should have asked about comparisons to South African apartheid. You should have asked about IDF violence against non Jews. You should have asked about judicial preferences against non Jews. You should have asked if these illegal settlements and drone strikes on residential neighborhoods and critical infrastructure have an effect on the hatred in the conflict. You should have asked about accusations that Israel is artificially changing the demographics in Jewish favor even including forced sterilization. You should have asked about Israel’s border growth over the past few decades. You should have asked about Shireen Abu Akleh who was killed by IDF and had her funeral raided. You should have asked about weekly raids on churches and mosques. You should have asked about routine raids on residential neighborhoods of non Jews. You should have asked about lax rules of engagement resulting in more civilian casualties than killed “terrorists” on almost every operation IDF takes part in. You should have had the courage to ask the hard questions, the important questions that people need to hear answered. I’m extremely disappointed at this interview because it was probably the only chance we’ll get at having these questions answered. This was an extremely one sided view of the conflict and you let him freely make controversial claims. For example him saying that all Palestinians want Israel destroyed yet there is only a 3-5% difference between the number of Palestinians that approve of a 2 state solution compared to Israelis. I genuinely believe Netanyahu wants an ethnically cleansed Israel and as much land from Palestine as he can get, we’ve invaded and boycotted other countries for less serious crimes against humanity. How about you ask why Israel deserves this special treatment? You should have asked about the accusation that Israel is perpetuating the conflict in order to justify its ethnic cleansing. You practically invited him on your platform to spread his version of the truth with no pushback or counter arguments. I know you’re capable of doing this because you’ve done so before, I understand you may be partial towards one side but you can’t allow your content to reflect this.

If i have to defend Lex ,then the reason would be that he is talking to israel pm..any push back questions can have very negative consequences , and he doesnt have any company and he is also not a part of any organization to endure such negative consequences, plus talking to pm means questions can be structures in a way before the interview meaning some questions might not allowed to be asked etc. So maybe Lex tried his best to get as many info as possible ...This opinion of mine is because I believe in Lex and I believe he is doing everything with utmost honesty, So yes you will see a bias perspective in my opinion ...But hopefully this answers your query

Having come on the show and spew uncontested propaganda is negligent. This is why Bibi doesn’t do long form interviews with Israeli or Arab hosts, and goes to unknowledgeable hosts half a world away instead. It's easy to deceive the ignorant.

I always find Lex's interview great and very information. It's amazing how he interviews so many influential people like Benjamin Netanyahu, ELon Musk and Jeff Bezos. One thing I wanted to pick up on though - according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary: semitic: 1. of, relating to, or constituting a subfamily of the Afro-Asiatic language family that includes Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, and Amharic. 2. : of, relating to, or characteristic of the Semites. 3. : jewish. So if someone is being anti-semitic aren't they being anti-Arabic as well as anti-Jewish?

​@@jl8410this isn't 60minutes and the 90s confrontation style. Talking as an equal with one of the most powerful world leaders and dangerous individuals is a huge feat.

@@jl8410 What are you blabbering about, he started straight away calling his guest one of the most hated men on the planet.. He also challenged him on the judicial reform which is the major point of controversy at the moment that crazy leftists in israel are demonstrating about. He almost never challenges anybody anywhere near that much. Then when he had Yuval on he didn't challenge him on a thing, despite having more than enough information to.

My jaw absolutely dropped when I saw the thumbnail. Very impressive for both Lex and Benjamin. As a Canadian, this is the first time I've actually heard Benjamin speak. And honestly. Very impressive. He's very knowledgeable and a terrific speaker. Kind of completely changed my opinion of the man. You are doing great work in the world Lex

Your not suspicious about the fact he speaks English fluently? He even sounds like he was born and raised in America. Prime minister of Israel seems to be a CIA operative, but who knows that’s just conspiracy 🤷🏽‍♂️

Thanks again for an insight rarely, if ever, available for us to understand more fully.

Lex. You my friend are an inspiration to all reasonable and rational people everywhere. Thank you for you continued run of astounding guests and great interviews

Damn, his answer to the opening question has not aged well, in a matter of mere months…

Explain, and use your brain, without just noting consensus. The world was thought flat, crusades, mob murder so on, consensus is rarely a reliable light of truth. Billions of muslims, millions of them hateful, Millions of Jews, hundreds hateful. Let's get honest.
