It is odd to me that on the one hand Liel rants against things like traditional college educations but on the other praises Bibi because he is so slimy that he constantly succeeds politically. The fact that the man if void of ethics doesn't make me like him. I also don't like the fact that Bibi wants us to be little America. That was the result of his financial policy which has blessed us with the same inequalities in income, education, government services, etc means the 10% at the top of Israel get everything and the 90% fight over what remains.
I would also remind the authors that Bibi did not stop the original Iran deal and in the process alienated many Democratic senators and congresspeople which was unnecessary. Lapid had the same stance which he made clear without becoming so polarized in the US.
All that being said, I don't think Bibi is a bad PM and just hope he can keep some of the far-right political proposals at bay.
I'm skeptical of what Netanyahu can accomplish. But Biden is a half-senile mediocrity, now one of the most unpopular presidents of modern times, who's left millions of voters wondering why they supported him. This will make Israel's break with Biden easier than it was under Obama. He needs to be not shy about cooperating with Republicans and any leftover sane Democrats if and when the Republicans take over Congress. It's even more urgent now that Iran has formed a growing alliance with both Russia and China. There's no room left for considering the Obama policy rational, desirable, or legitimate.
Your usual snarkiness and half truths.....deliverd with much brio......and so convincingly well-written....
