    I know there are many Israelis who are against what’s happening and we shouldn’t put everyone in the same basket, but man…

    I mean I see what you mean but Netanyahu is called the king of Israeli politics for a reason. They’ve consistently elected right wing genocidal maniacs.

      In the last election, around 52% of the Israeli voters voted for parties that aren’t part of Bibi’s “bloc”.
      Bibi’s party, Likud, got 23.4% of the votes. Two of the parties in his “bloc” are ultra-orthodox where their voters vote according to what their Rabbis say, and where one of the parties (UTJ) doesn’t recognize the state of Israel as it is now.

      This is why he’s called “the king of Israeli politics”, because he manages to be PM despite all of this.
