Greatest Leader since Moses determined to destroy Israel

Back in the day, I knew a few well-meaning idealists who went to Israel to volunteer on the kibbutzim. In the early days post ‘67 there was still a belief amongst do-gooders that a two-state solution could lead to peace and the lion would lie down with the lamb etc. Instead, here we are, fifty years later, and that idealized notion of an Israel magnaminous in victory is long dead. In fact, Israel is on the cusp of civil war. In the Bibi era the future of the state has been held hostage by personal ambition. Netanyahu has always been a man who puts himself before the best interests of the country. The Bibi of 20 years past was a moderate compared to the Bibi of today. With every election he swings further to the right to facilitate coalition building. That’s because society at large is moving ever rightward. And that’s why the Israel we used to know is fast disappearing. “The only democracy in the Middle East” is fast becoming an embarrassment to democracy. If the current “reforms” go through, the land belongs to settler extremists. If Bibi backs down this time, you know that in six months or a year there’ll be a next time. I read where the Greatest Leader since Moses just had a pace-maker installed. He’s obviously determined to see things through. Only a fool would bet against him.
