Netanyahu Posts Video Arguing Iran “Like ISIS, But Bigger”

“No one would dream of allowing the Islamic State to have nuclear weapons,” reads the description on the viral video just posted by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “So why would anyone let the more powerful Islamic state of Iran have nuclear weapons?”

The video imagines the damage ISIS (Islamic State) could do if it had the weaponry Iran currently possesses, and even shows nuclear weapons, a direct reference to Iran’s nuclear program.

Critics will point out that Iran and ISIS are mortal enemies, but the point of the video is to draw symmetry between the two, for their religious fervor, brutal violence, support of terrorist – and, of course, their near-identical names.
