Netanyahu posts skit of young man ‘coming out’ as his supporter, to parents’ horror

Benjamin Netanyahu posted a “humorous” political video on Thursday for the Shavuot holiday that shows a man horrifying his liberal parents at the holiday meal by coming out to them as a supporter of the prime minister, when they are merely expecting he is about to tell them he is gay.

As the parents gossip about an acquaintance’s “low-life” son who watches the pro-Netanyahu Channel 14, their son clinks his glass and says: “Mom, Dad, I want to tell you something.”

His pony-tailed father says without batting an eyelash, “You’re gay,” as the mother chides her husband to “let the boy say for himself that he’s gay.” The right-wing man’s sister, tapping away at her phone, scoffs: “Coming out is so 2019.”

Then the son drops his bombshell: “I’m right wing,” he says proudly.

The father, sipping his wine, sputters it out in shock. But, recovering their poise, the parents try to be supportive, with the mother saying, “We’ll get through this together,” and the father suggesting that the deluded son might be referring to anti-Netanyahu opposition party leaders Naftali Bennett or Gadi Eisenkot.

But no, the son stresses that he is a supporter of Netanyahu himself — “I’m a Bibist” — not the prime minister’s right-wing rivals in the opposition.

חג שמח לכולם! ????????❤️........
