An Israeli soldier was discovered making threats against Netanyahu on social media posts and has been arrested for his offense:

A 21-year-old from northern Israel was arrested by Israel Police on Tuesday after he was suspected of posting a threatening message against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on social media.

The suspect was a soldier who posted a number of posts, including, according to Ynet: "There's a solution and it's to take down Bibi (a nickname for Netanyahu). This happened in the past with a prime minister who they unjustly took down, but now we have a prime minister who takes down his citizens. Apparently this will happen again and justly and also the police who are his slaves just need to be stoned to death. This is the solution."

The news came after Netanyahu filed a police complaint over death threats made against him and his family.

It's not too hard to figure out this was a left-leaning soldier with a poor education and desensitized to violence, who pulled the criminal act. One who apparently only considers Yitzhak Rabin's assassination as wrong because he was a leftist, but doesn't think it would be the same if Netanyahu were attacked, because he's a rightist. Presumably, the army themselves will investigate and prosecute the soldier under special military laws. And hopefully, they will indeed throw the book at the deranged soldier. Why did he even enlist if that's what he thinks?
