I will never defend Netanyahu. He’s Israel’s Trump, but without the history he’s likely not there. He doesn’t represent a majority but corrupt coalitions. He doesn’t reflect the majority, but he’s using , abusing and bending the system to his will the way Trump does. You can’t define Israel by him any more than you can define the US by Trump.

Responses:

he's been in power for almost all of the last 15 years. I think you have to define Israel by his actions at this point. - mafic Mar 26, 19:21 3
- He is. That’s a huge problem. My point is that the overall context is broader than the last 15 years, but yes, I completely agree he is a huge problem - pmb Mar 26, 19:37 2
  - he's a big part of the Hamas problem as well. he thought he could control them even as he helped bolster them. now the leopards eating people's - mafic Mar 26, 20:47 1
    - I think there is a potential solution, but Netanyahu has to go for it to have a chance. It’s basically what Biden was working on before this - pmb Mar 26, 21:29
