    A lot of Israelis are blaming Netanyahu for the war, the Supreme Court of Israel struck down his constitutional reform, and thanks to him Israel can no longer take the support of their oldest allies completely for granted. The relationship between the US and Israel was already at an all-time low before all this thanks to Netanyahu being a piece of shit.

    Of course, there’s also the flip side of the coin: Netanyahu has always had a fear based platform, and the political climate lends itself well to that at the moment. There’s always a rally behind the flag effect, and elections are still far away. So even if he loses the next election in a landslide that might be too late. Frankly it has been too late for many years already.

    So all in all I agree in not being incredibly optimistic.
