He's privatized fucking everything, overseen two pointless 'wars' in two years, has overseen a dramatic drop in living standards, done nothing to regulate runaway real estate and food prices, crippled anything even vaguely resembling a peace process, alienated most of the planet, humiliated Diaspora Jewry, and most recently flat-out admitted there would be no Palestine under his continued tenancy -- after YEARS of saying there was no 'honest partner' for peace on the Palestinian side.
He's a slimy sack of bastard and I wish nothing good on him or his fuckboy party.
I never thought of it that way. You may have a point, however, from what I observed.
- Continued rise in illegal settlements - Continued assaults on Palestinian infrastructure: "Schools, hospitals, power plants" - Cut off financially and economically from the world. - Every-time there is a conflict of some sort, Israel takes another inch. This has been happening for many years. - I don't think the citizens of Israel want to live under constant threat of rocket attacks either, as a result, I think Israel is slowly, but surely, pushing them out. One way or another.
Also, this is not solely my opinion. Check out Chomsky's address to the United Nations on the matter.

He probably gets it more then most and at the end of the day doesn't really care about the Jewish state at all; he just wants to keep power. He's trolling just to keep his job and whipping the right wing into a frenzy to regain power is a popular tactic across the world, lol

The election reminded me a lot of Bush v. Gore - and I hope I'm wrong because it is my estimation Bush's presidency (particularly his first term) was fraudulently administered. I'm convinced that a hidden-hand (yes, I'm referring to a shadow government) was paramount in instituting his entire administration precisely to preside over 9/11 and the ongoing war in the Middle-East, and I see Bibi's reign as an arm of that hidden hand. As has been the case in the U.S., I see corruption of the highest order taking place in global power positions right now.
With Clinton/Bush poised to take the White House in 2016, I'm very concerned about the course of global affairs right now.
