Netanyahu is a corrupt, fascist criminal

he is absolutely the worst leader Israel could have right now. His only path to stay out of jail is to stay in power.
The problem is his only way to stay in power is to keep the right wing fanatics in Israel happy. And they want Palestinian blood.
Like in this country, a hateful, lunatic minority are shaping a national agenda.

One hopes saner minds in Israel can reign him in and lead to a better and more humane strategy. There is supposedly a joint government now.

"I have the United States wrapped around my little finger". He only appreciates the money and arms that he gets from us. If we object to anything he does, he pretty much just flicks us off.

Which is the *first* requirement for Israel to cease doing what it is doing.

Trump Jr.

He will take his country down the toilet to save his amassed wealth and his ass from jail/accountability.

However, I was told if Netanyahu's replacement is from the right, little will change. Hopefully, that won't happen.

Netanyahu only rules because of a coalition from the far right. If there were an election and the liberal Parties won, Lapid of Gantz would be PM.
