Not Israel, The Problem is Netanyahu

 I have been writing this for some time, but Why Israel is losing America from Englesberg Ideas may be more eloquent and compelling than I have. Maybe not as compelling as the Iran debacle Netanyahu conned Trump into. Would it also be that the rise in antisemitism is blunted. Netanyahu hides behind Zionism, a nasty right-wing strain of Zionism does profit from him. What interests Netanyahu is power and fear of losing his libety. Those are not diseases peculiar to the Jews.

A word of caution is necessary, however: Bibi appears drunk on never-ending wars, and he will try to keep Israel in the fight as long as possible to distract from his weakened political position. As a case in point, look at the IDF invasion of Southern Lebanon. Moreover, if the Iran and Lebanon wars ended now, Bibi would be compelled to resume facing his corruption trial. He will also face an inevitable investigation into the Israeli intelligence and military failures prior to the Hamas attack on 7 October, an inquest that will include his government’s alleged role in propping up Hamas. The odds are that he will do all he can to continue Israeli military activity on multiple fronts to forestall his date with destiny; the next Israeli elections may finally be his undoing.
