I don't believe the current line of "he's just a right-wing whacko". Israel is already doing some of those things - destroying the power plant, destroying the water treatment facility, bombing hospitals and schools, etc.

He may be the politician saying it, but as a whole, the Israeli government is DOING some of it.

That's what I question. It's hard to say he's just some whackjob for saying it openly when many of the things he is advocating are being done.
