Wanted War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu Has Called Our Prime Minister “Weak”

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the smiling face of the force perpetrating the Gaza genocide, an atrocity so deplorable that the edifice of international law has come tumbling down due to its gravity, and he’s called Australian PM Anthony Albanese “weak” for suggesting this country may soon recognise the nation of Palestine, of which he’s trying to annihilate.

“History will remember Albanese for what he is,” posted Netanyahu on Wednesday 19 August 2025, “A weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia’s Jews.”

Yet, history will remember Netanyahu as one of the most despicable figures on the planet, as he’s been presiding over an AI-assisted mass extermination of Palestinians, which has included utilising disturbingly calculated methods in its attempt to lay to waste an entire part of humanity, and this amounts to a surrender to the basest parts of the human experience, which is no show of strength.

Netanyahu’s swipe has further revealed that Australia’s attitude towards Israel’s mass murder does matter. And his response has conveyed that despite the Butcher of Gaza having overseen the wholesale snipering of kids, the Israeli PM’s voice still holds weight on the international stage, and this fact, coupled with Trump’s USA, shows the human rights-buoyed global system is in dire straits.

As for what reaction Netanyahu was hoping to garner from calling Albanese “weak”, it’s a little hard to ascertain down under, because the Australian PM’s form on the Gaza genocide over the last two years has been decried by great numbers of the local constituency and having been insulted by a homicidal maniac is sure to do wonders for the federal Labor leader’s approval ratings.

The fact is that after Albanese determined to follow other nations in recognising Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September, there was a domestic uproar about the fact that the Australian PM had done nothing to stop the two-way arms trade with Israel, and Netanyahu’s intervention will likely result in a spike in support for the Palestinian cause as well.

A wanted war criminal

Netanyahu is responsible for killing off thousands of Palestinian children’s dreams over the last two years. The globe has watched on as Israeli soldiers have taken Palestinian prisoners off to the corner to rape them to death with metal rods. And humanity has borne witness to mass graves with lifeless bodies in blue bags being piled up on top of one another in ditches like abattoir refuse.

The International Criminal Court issued a warrant against Netanyahu’s name, which was no mean feat, as the nation of Israel tends to have an ability to deflect serious political criticism via a suite of globally-bought politicians conflating it with antisemitism or Jewish prejudice, but ICC prosecutor Karim Khan resisted the extreme pressure not to call him out and he’s since been paying for that.

Issued on 21 November 2024, the international arrest warrant against Netanyahu charges him with “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts”.

So, the Israeli PM is wanted globally, and the 124 nations that have ratified the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court are supposed to arrest him if he enters their jurisdictions, and then hand him over.

The official death toll in the Gaza Strip is over 62,000 people dead now, which includes over 19,000 children. But these are bodies counted, and a study in Lancet released in February suggested then that the death rate was likely over 40 percent higher than the official count. And due to the Netanyahu government’s starvation policy in Gaza, there are now over 250 famine-related deaths.

Despite Israel’s perpetration of a genocide having been denied in the western mainstream press for as long as it could be, the mass atrocity has been livestreamed over electronic devices 24/7 for close to two years now, so it’s hard to garner why a slight from someone like Netanyahu might result in a blight for this nation’s prime minister, or anybody else for that matter.

Murdoch is with Netanyahu

But this “major diplomatic row” does seem to have drawn the ire of the local Murdoch press, with Sky News journalist Sharri Markson stating on Tuesday night that, “Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has tonight blasted Albanese in a scathing statement.”

“‘A weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia’s Jews’”, the Sky News host continued, as she repeated the Israeli PM’s words, and added that “truer words were never spoken”.

“These are words of strength and clarity from Netanyahu, who is responding to the relentless aggression from Albanese, Penny Wong and Tony Burke: the pro-Palestinian trio.”

“This marks a dramatic escalation in diplomatic tension, but much like on October 7, Israel is not the instigator or the aggressor here,” declared Markson. “Israel is simply, finely, responding to relentless hostility from the Albanese government.”

Markson then quotes Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar, as stating “antisemitism is raging in Australia, including manifestations of violence against Jews and Jewish institutions”, which is applied as if it was true, despite the so-called antisemitic crimewave on Gadigal in Sydney having been staged by career criminals and the same scenario appears to have taken place in Naarm-Melbourne.

The Sky News reporter further suggests that the “Albanese government criticises Israel so strongly that it “energies the aggressive pro-Palestinian activists” and she warns that if Albanese “blasts” Israel he can’t expect to have “calm” on the streets in Australia.

Markson’s rant is an example of the stance of the local Israel lobby, and hurdling its pressure not to recognise Palestine was no “weak” act.

Homicidal through and through

Netanyahu’s disapproval towards Albanese has not only been given credence by Sky News but the local public broadcaster is too concerned about the low point it marks in the relationship between the two nations, whilst neglecting to note that as per international law, strained relations with Tel Aviv is exactly what Canberra should be in the midst of due to Israel’s large scale genocide.

The mainstream fretting about the substance of a wanted war criminal’s criticisms of our government is further choking the airwaves at the same moment that Israel is in the midst of launching an operation to siege Gaza City, which will forcibly displace over 1 million civilians, who are then being left with no safe areas to flee to, in a continuing attempt to rid the Strip of their presence.

The globe is too well-versed in the understanding that another advantage that Netanyahu is garnering from the mass slaughter of innocent Palestinians is that he is avoiding having to front up to a criminal trial over a 2019 indictment charging him with fraud and bribery, which could see him sent away to prison for up to 10 years, once the carnage ends and he is forced to face the courts.
