4. Israeli democracy is dead
Heading for a theocratic/autocratic banana republic.
Netanyahu is a bare-faced liar. He doesn't give two hoots about the waste of money. It's nothing to he who, unlike the prime ministers of Europe who travel on national airlines, spent more than 600 million on a luxury personal jet, who threw hundreds of millions into the pockets of the so-called "spiritually pure" hogs of the orthodox parties.
Another election is simply a vehicle that grants him more and unprecedented levels of power.
There are several elected dictators in power: Trump is one, but at least he has some constitutional restrictions. But now, Netanyahu joins the ranks of such illlustrious figures (all elected) as Robert Mugabe, Erdogan, Maduro, Al Sisi, and even the leaders of Hamas and the PLO! Well done, Israel. Enjoy the fruits.
Coming soon: covered up women, bans on movies and all flights on Shabbat, segregated streets and entrances, schools converted to yeshivas. You don't think so? Most of that has already been proposed by the bearded ones. Watch as Rabbi Netanyahu sits back and lets it happen so long as he still sits in charge.
