Benjamin Netanyahu‘s eldest son recently accused popular American podcaster and known Republican Joe Rogan of declining to host the Israeli prime minister and spreading antisemitic content over the years.Yair Netanyahu, aged 33, criticised the renowned podcaster following Rogan’s favourable comments about Hunter Biden, suggesting Biden’s potential as a presidential candidate.“Great wake up call for conservatives to remember Joe Rogan is not a conservative,” Netanyahu’s son posted on X, quoting a Fox News report on Rogan talking about Hunter Biden. “He gave platform to every single neo Nazi antisemite on this plant (sic), but he refuse to have my father on his show, because he knows that he doesn’t stand a chance against him, and all those years of antisemitic propaganda will go to waste,” he further added.During Last week’s “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Rogan discussed Biden’s unconventional interview with “Channel 5” presenter Andrew Callaghan, where Biden addressed his illicit substance use. “He’s smarter than his dad when his dad was young,” Rogan said of Hunter adding, “And he could be president. How about that?”Yair Netanyahu, previously a podcaster, promptly criticised Rogan’s remarks, suggesting they revealed his non-conservative stance and accused him of promoting antisemitic views.Rogan has encountered several controversies regarding this subject throughout his career. Recently, Rogan received criticism for featuring Darryl Cooper, who has been accused of minimising Nazi atrocities and revising Holocaust history. Rogan dismissed his critics, labelling them as “paranoid” Jews.Yair Netanyahu, recognised for defending his father online, has faced his own controversies. In 2018, his Facebook account received a 24-hour suspension following anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian publications.“Do you know where there are no attacks, in Iceland and Japan. That’s because there are no Muslims,” he wrote in one post, as quoted by NY Post. In another, he wrote: “There will never be peace with the monsters in human form known since 1964 as ‘Palestinians.'”That same year, the prime minister’s son, then 26, was recorded outside a Tel Aviv strip club, intoxicated, bragging about his father and making inappropriate comments about women, according to NY Post’s reports.
