For me - I can easily look back to Bibi's recent visit to the UN and the map he held up omitting Palestinian terrorities. I remember the shock and disgust I felt from his visit. I'm sorry I don't know how to imbed a picture - so I searched for an article that had it if one is interested. https://www.commondreams.org/news/netanyahu-map]
Or go back very far to a very young Netanyahu as described in the historian Max Hastings 1970s book, Going To The Wars. Again I can't imbed a picture of the book. Background - Sir Max Hastings had been recruited by the Netanyahu family to write a biography of Yoni Netanyahu who was killed executing the raid on Entebbe. This is from the book:
At Bibi Netanyahu's dinner table in Jerusalem, I listened with crawling dismay to Bibi talking about the future of his country. 'In the next war, if we do it right, we'll have a chance to get all the Arabs out,' he said. "We can clear the West Bank, sort out Jerusalem.' He joked about the Golani Brigade, the Israeli infantry force in which so many men were North African or Yemenite Jews. "They're okay as long as they're led by white officers."
For me . . . I have many more instances that inform my opinion on what I think Bibi wants . . .
