      That’s true but there were better and worse Israeli pols.

      Rabin would’ve done a two-state deal only Netamyahu had him killed.

      Israel is still bad to the core, but it wasn’t inevitable that it’d be this bad.

      Part of the problem is they have a real strong military-industrial complex and political power is held by folks with the ‘military’ personality-type.

      I know that you’re referring to when he first took office, but Netanyahu is really about as old as “Israel” itself. He was in his mother’s belly when the “Ink Flag” was raised, when the Zionist Entity joined the United Nations, when the Zionist Entity commemorated the first anniversary of its declaration of “independence”, when the Green Line was set. Netanyahu was the Entity’s first PM to have been born after the Entity’s declaration of “independence”, and there have only been two others since then.

      So, you know, time is relative, basically.
