believe that to criticize Netanyahu is to criticize every single Jew in the world.

They forget that yes, even Netanyahu, PM of Israel, can be an unbearable asshole.

Your Jewish friends and neighbors? They are the same kind people they always were, they aren't Netanyahu level unbearable assholes.

Just Netanyahu.

Unbearable asshole.
