Social media users were left outraged when they heard the Israel President, Isaac Herzog, calling for a ban on the pro-Palestine march taking place on November 11, 2023, Armistice Day. In an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, when Isaac Herzog was asked how he felt about the march, he called the protest “atrocious and hypocritical.”

“It’s atrocious and hypocritical. And I call upon all decent human beings to object to the march and ban it because the symbol of that day is a symbol of victory. And it is a symbol of doing good. You have to fight evil in order to uproot evil," Herzog said.

Isaac Herzog also spoke up about how his father fought the Nazis during World War II. He then said:

“There’s an empire of evil from Tehran emanating with a whole culture of hate to eradicate all of us, and I say to my friends all over the world - ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Houthis in Yemen, all they want is to chop our heads and get to you guys next. This is the real challenge of the world today.”

As soon as clips from the interview started floating on social media platforms, netizens were shocked. Many were taken aback by President Isaac’s words and thoughts about placing a ban on the march.
