(18,059 posts)63. The only problem I see with that - the people voted FOR these effed up "leaders".
Israel voted for the butcher Bibi. But many are calling for elections now. (I haven't heard exact per cent, so maybe not enough of them.)
Palestinians voted for the Hamas butchers and rapists. Last I heard, 70% still support Hamas AND what was done on October 7th. (Let that sink in.)
I can believe some of the votes and ongoing support came/come from cluelessness. That could make it a tragedy more than pure evil. But still - as Americans we need to keep this in perspective. We have a binary choice in November - and one of those choices will destroy THIS country.

Most Israelis don't back this (hostage families included) and they loathe the criminal Netanyahu.
