The son of Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu, Yair, compared the Black Flag protesters to ISIS in a video published on Facebook, borrowing from an old Likud Party election campaign video to illustrate his point. The video was later deleted from his Facebook account.In response, the Black Flag movement responded to the video by referring to Yair as a paraiste, saying "he compares the black flags to ISIS: Netanyahu the Elder is a failure in [managing] Corona, the economy and a general failure. A good father would allow his son to live an independent life and receive the care he needs."Likewise, A caravan of protesters with huge submarine and F-35 props gathered Saturday calling for an investigation into the submarine affair.
