82. Just one to counter: his illegal and tyrannical attempt to dismantle the Israeli judiciary... Trump on steroids.

Nor, I note do you even touch on Bibi's refusal to address the families of the abducted Israelis nor do anything to put their safety and welfare ahead of his own military and political benefit. He wouldn't even address the families in the first year after their horrendous capture.

Your bending over backward for this Trump wannabe is noted but unjustified, to say the least. As I have told you before I have a colleague who actually attended high school with him in Philadelphia. All those many years ago he was already (per her clear recollections) driven in both a good way intellectually and academically, but a self-absorbed and narcissistic jerk on the whole. I can see that her assessment then was not too far off. So on the former, he clearly is no Trump, but on the latter?
