Israel is seriously losing the plot. And possibly it’s grasp on reality.
Don’t they have a super right-wing government right now? This kind of frothing at the mouth sure sounds like it.
It's so weird because they've been pretty effective in the past at this. This time it just seems to be such low quality and low effort, yet it's coming at me on almost every platform I use. The stuff that's showing up on my YouTube where it's like "10 most fierce IDF women soldiers," and the thumb is a beautiful Jewish woman with a photoshopped scratch on her face.
So, summaries like this are never completely accurate because theres just too much going on to shorten it so much, but it's kind of like this:
-
Very few Israel government terms have been established by moderates or peacekeepers, one of the most notable was PM Rabin who was assassinated in 1995.
-
Netanyahu elected PM in 1996, then the youngest ever, and served until 1999 and then later again from 2009-2021. Bit of a frother, he is probably happy Hamas gave him a reason TBH.
-
Netanyahu was in charge until he went to trial for corruption with various associated companies conflict of interests with the multiple offices of government that Netanyahu held.
-
The government then had to decide who was in charge in his place, but couldn't so they formed a "Unity Government" where one sides' guy Bennett (Extreme Right Frother, worse than Netanyahu) ruled for 2 years then the other side, Yair Lapid, gets to rule for 2 years.
-
Netanyahu had made changes to laws that made it impossible to hold him accountable for his crimes.
-
From July to Dec 2022 Lapid was in power, and then Netanyahu established himself as leader once again.
So. Yeah, it's totally fucked.
Bonus Fact: Israel's Surveillance Technology has been sold worldwide and one of their biggest buyers are US Administrations who prioritize securing the Southern Border, example given: Donald Trump. Their relationship was so good that Trump's son in law, working as an advisor in the white house, supported a pro-Israel single state solution, which is to say the destruction of Palestine.
