  • Professor Moshe Cohen Eliya praised Prime Minister Netanyahu's war management as masterful.
  • Eliya criticized opposition figures for disparaging Netanyahu's supporters as "baboons."
  • He claimed Netanyahu secured the return of all hostages.
  • Eliya asserted the judicial system "tailored a case" against Netanyahu.
  • He argued Netanyahu's supporters understand reality better than "sophisticated" elites.

Professor Moshe Cohen Eliya has lauded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the recent conflict, stating that he managed it "masterfully." Eliya's comments came in response to a viral video of Galia Albin speaking disparagingly about supporters of the Prime Minister, whom she allegedly referred to as "baboons" whose only utterance is "Bibi. Bibi." Eliya argued that Albin's remarks reflect a broader sentiment within the opposition, criticizing what he perceives as a condescending attitude from intellectual elites towards Netanyahu's supporters.

Eliya contended that this "sophistication" often masks a form of racism and a disregard for the democratic principle of equal voting power. He drew a parallel between the opposition's alleged disdain for Netanyahu's supporters and a perceived misjudgment of Hamas's intentions, suggesting that a simpler, more direct understanding of reality, as possessed by Netanyahu's supporters, is more effective than "over-sophistication." He specifically criticized journalist Ilan Likhach for his reporting on alleged racism in Netanyahu's campaign, arguing that Likhach's own commentary revealed his bias.

Furthermore, Eliya asserted that Netanyahu successfully secured the return of all hostages, contrasting this with the opposition's alleged desire to surrender and allow Hamas to approach Israeli communities. He also claimed that the judicial system "tailored a case" against Netanyahu to undermine the right-wing government, a claim he stated was exposed in the Jerusalem District Court. Eliya concluded by asserting that the "Mizrahi baboon" who says "Bibi. Bibi" is smarter than the "sophisticated" elites, as truth is simple and uncomplicated.
