Conservative Israeli media personality Yinon Magal shared a video excerpt on X late on Sunday from a forthcoming documentary about the late U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, highlighting the senator’s praise for Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.

The clip, which Magal posted with a Hebrew caption, features Graham comparing the two leaders to Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt in the context of confronting Iran.

“Lindsey Graham, may his memory be a blessing, in the war with Iran: ‘Trump and Bibi are like Roosevelt and Churchill, they are the two right guys to deal with this evil,’” Magal wrote to his followers.

The excerpt stems from “Lindsey’s Game,” a documentary by filmmaker Alex Holder that captured extensive behind-the-scenes footage with the South Carolina Republican, who died earlier this month.

“Jews make up a small fraction of San Francisco’s population, yet anti-Jewish bias accounted for nearly half of all hate crimes reported so far this year,” Marc Levine, of the ADL, told JNS.
Board of Peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov denies claims of a financial deal with the terror group.
Jonathan Sarna, of Brandeis University, told JNS that the partnership “vividly displays the benefits of the free marketplace of competing synagogues in the American setting.”
The meeting “focused on strategies to strengthen Jewish safety and belonging, maintain candid lines of communication and collaborate on issues where we have shared values and goals,” Phylisa Wisdom, executive director of the Mayor’s office to Combat Antisemitism, told JNS.
