TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A top Israeli Cabinet minister headed to Washington on Sunday for talks with U.S. officials, sparking a rebuke from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to an Israeli official, in a sign of widening cracks in Israel’s wartime government nearly five months into its war with Hamas.

Like GW Bush, Netanyahu’s party was losing support and about to lose power.

Then one of the supposedly greatest intelligence systems fails, allows an attack, and they use a disproportionate response to prolong a conflict and say that they’re now the only ones who can lead us through it.

Luckily Israeli voters don’t seem to be falling for it.

Netanyahu has tanked in popularity since the war broke out, according to most opinion polls, with many Israelis holding him responsible for Hamas’ cross-border raid that left 1,200 people, mostly civilians, dead and roughly 250 people, including women, children and older adults, abducted and taken into Gaza, according to Israeli authorities.

The subsequent fighting has killed at least 30,410 Palestinians, around two-thirds of them women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and fighters. Around 80% of the population of 2.3 million have fled their homes, and U.N. agencies say hundreds of thousands are on the brink of famine.

Well to be fair, it took about twenty fucking years or more of Israeli voters falling for it for it to become completely clear to them that Netanyahu is a criminal who is full of shit. He’s the Israeli version of Trump moreso than Bush.

last elections 70% of eligible voters voted.
likud has gotten around 24% of their votes.

Eh, Palestinians boycott those local elections because they don’t get a national vote as part of apartheid.

Which, yeah, sounds like a bad plan. Take what representation you have and fight for more.

But that’s why the far right wins those elections and also why things don’t get better. I’m sure there’s lots of propaganda at play

Just like those silly Russians that don’t partake in elections which is the reason Putin keeps winning.

Not because there’s surveillance cameras inside of the voting booths where Arabs vote

missed out an important part:

…the overall vote in many of these cities was not for right-wing parties – it was simply split between multiple candidates on the Center or Left.
