At a Beverly Hills gala dinner on Wednesday, Hollywood superstar Ari Emanuel pleaded with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s withdrawal.
There were also a several applause, as well as a number of attendees who reportedly left the room.
Emanuel, who received a charitable award, is a familiar figure in social lines as well. One of his sons, Rahm, was the former president of Chicago and the White House’s chief of staff during the Obama administration’s initial two years, when Democrats were also trying to undermine Netanyahu. His other brother, Ezekiel, is commonly considered one of the engineers of the questionable Obamacare coverage.
After Kanye West’s descent into racism, Emanuel himself spearheaded efforts to ban the rapper.
In his statement, Emanuel backed Israel’s struggle against Hamas and Hezbollah jihadists, but claimed that Netanyahu had damaged Israel’s picture and had to retire for the sake of that country’s victory.

Deadline provided a text:
When a Jew appeared in the media and committed a crime, my father would say,” He’s ruining the Jewish people’s reputation in the world” whenever I was a child.
Netanyahu is then able to acknowledge that he is tarnishing our popularity and causing unimaginable and lasting harm to both Israel and the Hebrew people around the world.
…
The Jewish people are in charge of making their own officials. Israel is a republic. But as Jews, we have a interest in this. Additionally, we are expected to speak up. We are called to “repair the globe”, Tikkun Olam. And as Elie Wiesel said,” Occasionally we must impede”.
Emanuel stated that he supported Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY ) call for Israel to remove Netanyahu from power in new elections, which was rejected by American Jewish leaders as a form of democracy-invasion.
