In a bold move that has ignited controversy on social media, Communist political activist Jackson Hinkle publicly announced on X/Twitter that he is challenging Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to a boxing match this Tuesday.
Accompanying his challenge, Hinkle shared a screenshot of a document detailing the proposed terms of the bout, touting that the match would gain official sanctioning from the International Boxing Association, a significant endorsement that adds a layer of legitimacy to the outrageous proposal.
The contract, which Hinkle has already signed, included a series of unusual stipulations aimed at ensuring a fair contest: Netanyahu must refrain from causing harm to any medics or journalists during the match, cannot engage in bribery or intimidation of judges, and his father, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is explicitly barred from executing any air strikes or attempting to influence the bout in any manner.
In a striking twist, Hinkle proclaimed that should Netanyahu emerge victorious, he would ‘permanently deport himself to Gaza,’ a veritable twist of fate for the young politician. Conversely, if Hinkle claims victory, Netanyahu would be forced to ‘serve in the IDF on the frontline of Israel’s current conflicts in Gaza or Lebanon, or on the frontlines of potential future conflicts against Iran or Syria.’
“I know I’m not an innocent woman or child, so you probably won’t want to fight me,” Hinkle taunted Netanyahu after issuing his audacious challenge, a provocative statement that further inflamed the already heated discourse.

The responses were divided
While a portion of social media users rallied behind Hinkle, expressing support for his provocative challenge, many others were quick to dismiss the terms as ‘ridiculous,’ labeling the entire scenario as ‘pathetic’ and Hinkle himself as a desperate attention-seeker.
“Wait, you have his number?” one incredulous user questioned, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
“Jackson’s running on fumes,” another spectator remarked. “Clawing for attention… It’s a sad, desperate attempt to stay in the spotlight – pathetic, really.”
