Netanyahu's Son Creates Facebook Controversy

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair posted anti-Arab and anti-Islam remarks on his Facebook page.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son Yair posted anti-Arab and anti-Islam remarks on his Facebook page, according to the Ha’aretz newspaper.

The comments from the teenager, who also serves in the Israeli army, were said to have been deleted once the newspaper reached out looking for comment.

The first of the remarks were posted in March after a Jewish family was killed in the occupied West Bank. Yair was alleged to have said, “Terror has a religion, and it is Islam.”

He is reported to have made other remarks going back to 2008, such as “Muslims celebrate hate and death.”
