Clinton email: Netanyahu ‘can never equal his dead brother’

A new batch of emails from Hillary Clinton reveal the presidential hopeful believes Benjamin Netanyahu lives in the shadow of his warrior brother who died in an IDF rescue mission in Entebbe in 1976.

The release of the emails shows Clinton forwarding an analysis of the prime minister that says he “has never measured up” to Yoni Netanyahu in the eyes of their father, noted historian and Greater Israel proponent Benzion Netanyahu.

“Bibi desperately seeks his father’s approbation and can never equal his dead brother,” reads the 2010 email from former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal, which Clinton forwards with the acronym “itys”– shorthand for “I told you so.”
