I’m a big fan of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s a leader who relentlessly defends his country. He has such a way with words.
He’s a man’s man. He’s a leader. Israel is blessed to have him, and we’re blessed to have Israel as our ally. I’m so grateful that America has a leader who respects and defends Israel to the best of his ability. The bond between our countries is so special.
Alright. Enough of my gushing.
First, you need the backstory. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif decided to tell the world that little boys and girls totally support the oppressive regime. They LOOOOOVE the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)! In fact, they actually are IRGC.
That’s probably news to them.
Today, Iranians–boys, girls, men, women–are ALL IRGC; standing firm with those who defend us & the region against aggression & terror.

I’m guessing he was hoping for a different response…
No we are not! I never forget getting beaten down and tear gassed by IRGC in the streets. They are why we are suffering now!

You are misinformed sir, I am an Iranian and I am not IRGC.

Benjamin Netanyahu rolled in with the best response in the history of best responses.

He pulled a #DeleteYourAccount. For real. He’s probably the only leader in the world who can make a millennial-inspired insult seem powerful.
