Communist political activist Jackson Hinkle posted on X/Twitter that he had challenged Yair Netanyahu to a boxing match on Tuesday.
In the post, Hinkle showed a screenshot of a document detailing the terms of the fight, which he stated would be sanctioned by the International Boxing Association.
The document, which Hinkle had already signed, stated that the only conditions were that Netanyahu could not kill any doctors or journalists, bribe or threaten judges, and that his father, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was prohibited from ordering an attack. air or otherwise interfere with the fight.
Hinkle wrote that if Netanyahu won, he would be ‘permanently deported to Gaza.’ However, if Hinkle won, Netanyahu would have to ‘serve in the IDF on the front lines of Israel’s current conflicts in Gaza or Lebanon, or on the front lines of possible future conflicts against Iran or Syria.’
“I know I am not an innocent woman or a girl, so you probably don’t want to fight me,” Hinkle wrote to Netanyahu after issuing the challenge.

The responses were divided
While many commentators cheered Hinkle on, several called the terms ‘ridiculous’, calling the challenge – and Hinkle himself – ‘pathetic’.
“Wait, do you have his number?” one user asked.
“Jackson is exhausted,” said another. “Clinging on to attention… It’s a sad, desperate attempt to stay in the spotlight – really pathetic.”
