2024 Man of the Year: Bibi Netanyahu

December 26, 2024

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas decided to find out what happens, in the immortal words of Walter Sobchak, when you f-ck a stranger in the ass. They entered a world of pain, and they weren't alone: 2024 was a bad year for terrorists across the Middle East. Some had their dicks blown off. Others died like dogs. Hamas and Hezbollah are decimated, Iran is humiliated, and Syria's Navy, and most of its strategic weapons stockpiles, are a thing of the past.

Most of that happened thanks to the fearless leadership of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year.

Many have come for King Bibi. All have missed and immediately regretted the decision. The list of his foes is long and undistinguished, starting with , with Senate majority leader (not for long!) Chuck Schumer. He has buried some and outlasted all.

Yahya Sinwar, head of Hamas, died throwing a stick at a drone. Ismail Haniyeh, another Hamas leader (went boom in an Iranian bed and breakfast). Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah (crushed in a basement). Bashar al-Assad (Vladimir Putin's new roommate). Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of Iran (older than Joe Biden, basically dead). Joe Biden (hospice care). Barack Obama (irrelevant crank). Chuck Schumer (lost his majority). Hillary Clinton (LOL). Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush (voted out). MSNBC (spun off from Comcast, on death's door). The International Criminal Court (clowns). Europe (beset by self-inflicted societal decay).

Netanyahu, like the Jewish state he leads, is the epitome of resilience in the face of adversity. He understands you can't win wars unless you fight them, that the best defense is a good offense, and that force means nothing if it isn't overwhelming.

The Biden administration implored Netanyahu to wage this war in keeping with the Democratic Party's storied tradition of coddling terrorists. The world is a better place today because Bibi gave Sleepy Joe (and his ghoulish minion Jake Sullivan) the same anatomical advice Dick Cheney gave Patrick Leahy in 2004.

May 2025 bring more victories for the Jewish State. Now, Bibi will be leading it as a two-timeĀ Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year. Am Yisrael Chai!
