Should be a lesson to other countries, Israel being an outlier sturdy and resilient country still had to face these kind of treacherous elements from within, imagine conditions in other countries.
That's not the end of it. Judiciary has decided now when Israel is fighting on seven fronts, is the right time to try the PM on bribery charges. He needs to spend 6h per day for three days per week so total of 18h per week explaining about cigars and champagne (!)
You can't try a sitting president in the US. But you can in Israel.
The judiciary there seems to have a lot of power. Before Oct 7, Bibi's party was trying to rein the judiciary. This led to opposition blocking roads all over the place saying democracy is at risk.
Check out this
video by former PM Ehud Barak. Highly decorated vet but not so smart opposition politician.
What is he calling for?
- Worst threat is internal threat. Bibi
- Non violent civil disobedience is the only option for patriots
- PM is unfit. Government is illegitimate
- Call for complete national shutdown only emergency services working
- MPs should boycott parliament and only return when it is dissolved
- government will fall in a matter of weeks
He is resurrecting the opposition to curbing the powers of the judiciary. The chaos quasi civil war before Oct 7.
They are so afraid of Bibi winning the war they are determined he should be taken out somehow.
I really don't know how this country manages to function with such crazy politics
The state of civil military fusion is absolutely appalling. Both are fighting the other. Opposition cares only for their party and not national interest. Oct 7 brought them together. Now it's coming apart.
How the hell are you going to win anything in this state!
Don't want to see Iran to dragged into bloody quagmire, terse diplomatic and social orchestration can solve issues there. At least on the front face, they seems to be a ready for dialogues and diplomacy.
That is what Iran will try to do. But time is running out. So Trump's plan is maximum pressure 2.0 with kinetic action on the table.
The world is daily moving towards bloody anarchy like a slow moving molasses trail, good leaders should be finding ways to solve issues than creating new ones. Because issues else where may effect and cause suffering to people elsewhere, who have nothing much to do with all this.
Democrats plan is to allow Turkey & Iran to be the hegemons in the middle east. Democrats consider Israel a trouble maker and Saudis of no consequence and the Saudis know it. This way there will be balance. Really?
If you rule out Iran it will lead to the rise of Turkey.
Will Turkey become the next trouble maker?
Jury is out on that one.
