Seems like fair political comment.
One only has to go back mere hours on any social media platform and you’ll find posts comparing both Biden and Trump to Hitler.
It might be a damning indictment of education in our schools that Hitler is the only comparator when tyrants like General Pinochet or Pol Pot might offer a more qualified condemnation without resorting to comparing everything to the Nazis.
The same is also true of Putin, who routinely gets compared with Hitler when on the basis of the evidence available comparing him with Netanyahu would be the most outrageous slur on the Russian leader.
Even Biden let the mask slip that Netanyahu is an “asshole”, so I don’t see why he should be exempt from Hitler comparisons, much as Israel shouldn’t be exempt from accusations of ethnic cleansing and/or genocide because of the Holocaust.
