It's about to get bloody in Israel

100,000 in the streets of Tel Aviv today, railing against Netanyahu's strategy to impose full-bore fascism on the Holy Land. The only democracy in the Middle East has seen its democracy glands go into overdrive these last few years. It's been an election every six to nine months, and the latest iteration of democracy in the only democracy in the Middle East sees the Greatest Leader Since Moses back-stopped by a coalition of extremist nutters. They've got people in government who hate homosexuals and Palestinians. We know this because they brag about it. It gets them votes. I wouldn't want to be a gay Arab in Israel these days. But as our media never tire of reminding us, Israel remains the only democracy in the Middle East. So Bibi's coalition of Jewish extremists has put hard-core Arab-haters in charge of the occupied territories. We're already at an average of a dead Palestinian per day. You ain't seen nothing yet.
