Biden, on Hot Mic, Says Netanyahu Needs to ‘Come to Jesus’

The idea of telling the elected leader of the world’s only Jewish state to “Come to Jesus” suggests a level of gross insensitivity, and in some contexts would be considered antisemitic.

President Joe Biden told legislators on the floor of the House of Representatives on Thursday evening that he had told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “you and I are going to have a Come to Jesus meeting.”

The phrase “Come to Jesus” refers to a confrontation in which one party demands that the other change his or her behavior.

Though it is not a specifically religious phrase, the idea of telling the elected leader of the world’s only Jewish state to “Come to Jesus” suggests a level of gross insensitivity, and in some contexts would be considered antisemitic.

The conversation took place as Biden greeted Democrats and well-wishers following his State of the Union address.

Biden was speaking to Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg nearby. He was apparently unaware that he was on a “hot mic” and being recorded.

Biden snubbed Netanyahu following his election in November 2022, until Israel and Saudi Arabia were approaching a peace deal in the early fall of 2023.

….Biden has been more and more critical of Israel in public, and is pressuring Israel to make concessions, notably to the idea of a Palestinian state.
