Israel’s “Opposition” is as responsible as its government

JVL Introduction

Natanyahu has taken Israel into an unwinnable war with Iran and he may pay the political price for that but the “opposition” to Netanyahu’s government are just as culpable. Netanyahu has been forced to stop bombing Iran (for now) but refuses to stop bombing Lebanon, indeed carrying out its most deadly and numerous attacks in one 24 hour period the day after the “ceasefire” was announced. Over 300 Lebanese people were killed as 100 bombs rained down on Lebanon in ten minutes!

This writer says: “…as the war winds down, there’s one thing we can count on: Israel has learned nothing. The Bibi-ists will continue to support their idols, the anyone-but-Bibis will continue to assail their Satan (while worshipping the army that carries out his plans) and Israel will continue to race into the next war with the same blindness and enthusiasm with which it raced into this one.”

The world needs to hold Israel to account to stop the state of permanent war.
