Geraldo to Fox & Friends: I’ve Been Warning You People About Netanyahu for Years

Geraldo Rivera told the Fox & Friends troika that Benjamin Netanyahu was a divisive and petty leader who had fractured U.S.-Israeli relations — as a certain mustachioed someone has been warning for years.

“If I were President Obama, I would have sent Bibi Netanyahu a congratulatory postcard by snail mail on a form written ‘congratulations on your recent election,'” Rivera said. “It is the appropriate thing to do to someone who has absolutely insulted the American constitutional system.”

“It caused a division in the U.S./Israeli relationship that has never existed before,” he continued. “And then for Bibi Netanyahu to run the campaign in a way that I believe was, to its core, made a racist appeal to Israeli hard-right voters to come out because these droves of these Palestinians are going to vote!”

As he predicted, Rivera got pushback for these points, as they have largely been characterized as liberal media’s sour grapes.

He then addressed Bibi’s three-step on the two-state solution, denouncing Netanyahu for oppressing Palestinians and turning Gaza into a “prison.”

“I sat in this very seat over the years and I looked at that camera and I said that Bibi Netanyahu told me to my face that there will never be an independent Palestine on his watch,” Geraldo said. “Bibi Netanyahu revealed his true self in this election.”
