A provocative proposal to address the ongoing conflict in Israel by crowning the controversial Prime Minister as king, forcing a reckoning with the realities of biblical-era brutality.Great Neck TodayThe author argues that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reign of terror and his supporters' unwavering defense of his actions have become unbearable. The author suggests a provocative solution - crowning Netanyahu as the king of Israel, which would force him to confront the realities of biblical kingship and potentially lead to his downfall.
Why it matters
Netanyahu's hardline policies and the unconditional support he receives from his allies in the U.S. have become a source of deep frustration for those who oppose the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians. This story explores an unorthodox way of challenging Netanyahu's power and the dangerous religious zealotry that underpins his rule.
The details
The author imagines what the political discourse around Israel would be like if the Zionist homeland had been established in Kenya instead of historic Palestine. The author then argues that Netanyahu, as the "literal prime minister of terror," is actually qualified to be crowned as the king of Israel, given his willingness to engage in the same level of violence and fanaticism as the biblical kings of old. The author suggests that by embracing Netanyahu's desire for absolute power and biblical-era brutality, his supporters may be forced to confront the realities of such a system of governance.
- The author's reflections on the current state of Israeli politics and the role of Netanyahu were published on April 8, 2026.

— The author
The takeaway
This story presents a provocative and unorthodox solution to the ongoing conflict between Israel and its critics, suggesting that by embracing the biblical-era brutality that Netanyahu and his supporters seem to embrace, they may be forced to confront the realities of such a system of governance. While the proposal is unlikely to be implemented, it highlights the deep frustration felt by those who oppose the Israeli government's policies and the need for a fundamental rethinking of the conflict.
