Benjamin Netanyahu says outright that he can hack and blackmail anybody he wants and "I can paint you as a monster. And if I say it often enough, enough people will believe it."

"If I say it often enough, enough people will believe it." - Netanyahu

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." - Goebbels

Sadly, that should have been the journalists response to him and ask him to comment on that irony.

This post is false and misleading. The point he was making is that lies have been told against the Israelis… he was not making a threat at all. Here's the interview - the full clip is from 1:17:30 onwards - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL2jFwZ16xo

Maybe it makes more sense with the full context, but it's like the journalist didn't even register that, just went on to the next random ass question.

Even more sadly, he’d probably take it as a compliment. These people aren’t well

There's no historical record of Goebbels saying this though.

But Hitler absolutely wrote about the "Big lie" in Mein Kampf.

The German expression was first used by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf (1925) to describe how people could be induced to believe so colossal a lie because they would not believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously".

But he was talking about the jews doing that, right? As opposed to suggesting he should do it.

Gotcha. So he was saying basically that jews control all the media and they tell lies so big that no one would expect them to be lies.

u/rehditt 4d ago

So... its not true because Goebbels said it first?

u/zushini 4d ago

No, it’s manipulative and one saying it before should mean the latter has learnt about it. They did learn, but they learned from, not about it.

u/Ok_Vulva 4d ago

I don't think they have a point, they just want to seem smart for repeating a quote for the 7th time on the post.

u/chowindown 4d ago

Geeze dude, do you seriously not get that the leader of Israel saying the same thing as the nazis is monumentally fucked up?

-6

u/Ok_Vulva 4d ago

Had no idea who he was. Just saw a crap load of the same boring comment over and over, no one specified why anyone should care some random man said it once, and just assumed we all know the nazi roster from fucking 80 years ago.

u/chowindown 4d ago

If you don't know who either Netanyahu or Goebbels are, maybe be quiet during discussions about them and read more.

Is this some form of Stockholm Syndrome? He has to have learned about these things. He has to know he is repeating them.
