    And you can argue that a democratic population is somehow more guilty of whatever their government do that the population of a dictatorship. If the people of Israel wanted peace with Palestine, they would vote for someone else.

      I can’t support that argument, if only because voters can’t know for sure how their candidates are going to react to different situations and might genuinely believe they’ll handle it in a way that doesn’t involve war crimes

      Then again, maybe it’s just because I’m an American and know all too well what sort of attrocities my democratically elected government has carried out over the years

        Netanyahu has a record he ran on. Enough people were comfortable with that record to get the fucker elected and re-elected.

        Imagine if Americans voted Trump in again.

        You know what you’re getting with some politicians and that’s the same with ol’ Netty.
