- He compared alleged violence by "Hilltop Youth" activists to historical events in Germany.
- The dispute originated from Rahav's comments on Channel 13, calling perpetrators "new Germans."

Public relations expert Rani Rahav fiercely criticized Channel 14 on social media platform X, after the outlet published a report accusing him of losing his mind and comparing Jews to Nazis. Rahav responded by accusing the government and the channel of ignoring the reality on the ground and warned of the consequences of violence against Palestinians.
"You are losing it at Channel 14!" Rahav wrote. "You don't understand that it's a disaster that Prime Minister Netanyahu, National Security Minister Ben-Gvir, and Defense Minister Katz are not intervening!" He also pointed to the international repercussions of current events, stating that Israel is already paying a price globally.
"The world will not forgive us, and it is already imposing sanctions on us, and you are writing that I have lost it? Shame on you!" Rahav posted. He reiterated his comparison between historical events in Germany and acts of violence allegedly committed by "Hilltop Youth" activists, stating, "This is how they treated our fathers in Germany before the ghettos. They came to Jewish stores, looted and burned, and this is what the Hilltop Youth are doing to the innocent!"
Rahav clarified that his criticism is not directed at legal settlements but at what he perceives as acts of violence. "For your information, I am not taking down one legal settlement, but I will not lend a hand to the new Germans just because they are Jews!" he wrote. He concluded, "This is not Judaism! This is not Zionism! This is Germany! And you, Channel 14 News, have the power to stop this immediately!"
The current confrontation stems from comments Rahav made on Channel 13's program "The Seven," hosted by Shai Golden and Lior Keinan. During a discussion about the alleged attack on American photographer Heidi Levine by Jewish rioters, Rahav stated that the only ones permitted in the area should be IDF soldiers and Border Police, who are "not equipped to deal with the new Germans of the State of Israel."
Golden reacted sharply to Rahav's comparison, urging him to cease using the historical analogy. He emphasized the severity of comparing Jews to Nazis, given that Germans exterminated six million Jews in a "diabolical, malicious, and monstrously cruel plan." Golden called equating a Jew with a Nazi "a crime."
