What does Andy Frisella think about Netanyahu's campaign in Israel's election?

Andy Frisella said Benjamin Netanyahu, like Trump and most current leaders, campaigns on fear: vote for me or lose everything. He argued Netanyahu's own policies are the reason Israel feels threatened by Iran and that his actions fuel antisemitism worldwide. Andy also said the US should decouple from the Israeli government. DJ cited reports of the highest turnout in 45 years and of about 500,000 Israelis living in America flying home to vote.

• DJ cited a post putting the opposition leader ahead of Netanyahu 66% to 27% in election odds.
• DJ said reports that the IDF refused a Netanyahu-ordered strike on Iran had been told both ways.
• Andy urged voters to back candidates with an actual vision for making things better.
