Students at Netanyahu’s Pennsylvania High School Want Him Ejected From the Alumni Hall of Fame
18th July 2025
More than 200 students at Cheltenham High School in suburban Philadelphia have petitioned for the school’s alumni hall of fame to eject Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who graduated from the school in 1967.
Officers of the school’s alumni association are meeting with school district officials on Friday to consider the petition, according to a report in The New York Times, which said the association’s secretary privately said the group was inclined “to keep Netanyahu up, but maybe with an update in his biography.” Netanyahu was added to the hall of fame in 1999, during his first stint as prime minister.
The petition, submitted last month by roughly 15% of students, cited Netanyahu’s criminal indictment and arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, the newspaper reported. Netanyahu denies the criminal charges against him and Israel rejects the allegation that it has committed war crimes in Gaza, where it has been battling Hamas since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
Netanyahu is an American citizen, as was his elder brother Yonatan, hero of the Entebbe Raid and a Harvard man.

Shows how devalued citizenship has become if the Netanyahu brothers are/were citizens. Anyone joining a foreign military or being the “leader” of a foreign nation should be stripped of citizenship. You are American or something else. Anything in front of American is NOT American.
