Yeah hes growing in popularity in Israel too. If they held elections today his party would hold 40 seats. 9 more than the start of the war. Just shows you nothings going to change. He'll go on being in power and whoever gets the white house will continue business as usual

Guess you guys don’t get the news about all the protests in Israel at the moment… bibi also only won because he changed the laws to prevent himself from losing, sounds kinda familiar.

Netanyahu is suspected of having been involved in the death of his past political competition and remains in power as an avoidance to being prosecuted for other crimes involving corruption, much like Trump.

And a whole BUNCH of the people Bibi runs rough-shod over have zero ability to vote.
Sounds rather dictatorial to me.

i think he's done. when you have 1/8 to 1/10 of the total population shutting down the country you've got more problems that are not as visible. yesterday, an estimated 700k people blocked highways and shut down commerce, and today they are saying it is closer to 900k. the country only has around 9 million people.
"And on Monday, Histadrut, Israel’s largest trade union — it represents about 800,000 workers — called a one-day general strike. It was backed by Israel’s main manufacturers and entrepreneurs in the high-tech sector. As a result, large parts of Israel’s economy were shut down for several hours before a labour court ordered protesters to return to work at 2:30pm (11:30 GMT)."
i think it's gonna get bigger and bigger until he leaves office. they have had enough of "nutty yahoo".
he doesn't want peace, he wants the palestinians to leave gaza. why is the international community not talking about the ben gurion canal? this is a long proposed canal linking the gulf of aqaba to the mediteranean sea.
the official plan is that it goes around the north end of gaza but the engineers original route shows it going through the north end of gaza, which is a much less expensive and more direct route.
israel wants the canal to take a bite from egypt's suez canal income and give them greater control of the entire area.
"During the 2022/2023 fiscal year, Suez Canal revenues hit a record-breaking $9.4 billion. Canal revenues are a key source of foreign currency for the country alongside tourism and remittances."
one could imagine a scenario where israel and surrounding arab countries were at war again, and , with the ben gurion canal completed and operating, the israeli's shut down the suez canal, forcing 15% of the world's shipping to use the ben gurion canal or go the long way around africa.
it would give this small country disproportionally large control over the most economically developed countries on the planet. like china and the US.

The US has a LONG history of fucking around in Central and South American elections in others' sovereign states. Even sponsoring coups that ended in properly elected leaders being assassinated in at least one case.. And putting despots in power in that country, as well as others.
Nothing new under the Sun.
well, when the shoe fits...
yet, it did happen. at least, their Supreme Court says so.
fraud ? possibly. i guess the US aint got the influence some allege... or we aren't using it in public...

Or the many countries that make up South and Central America got tired of the US playing in their sandboxes a long time ago.yet, it did happen. at least, their Supreme Court says so.
the money the govt kept tossing at them for "cooperation" in the "war on drugs" seems to have been pretty damn persuasive. grease enough palms, anything is possible.
