Such a tangled web, with Netanyahu doing a fair bit of recent spinning.
"Mileikowsky, Netanyahu’s grandfather, was born in 1879 in the Russian Empire, became a Zionist activist in his teens and gave traveling lectures promoting a return to the Land of Israel and the establishment of a Jewish state. A pen name Mileikowsky used on some of his articles was “Netanyahu,” later adopted as a surname by his sons.
Mileikowsky and his family came to British Mandatory Palestine in 1920. Throughout his life, he continued to advocate for Zionism, publishing a collection of his speeches in the 1928 book “Nation and State,” which Tibi quoted on Wednesday." https://www.timesofisrael.com/arab-mk-quotes-netanyahus-grandfather-at-him/
