7. When did Bibi jail his political opponents or have them throw out of windows or poison them? Has Bibi?

The entire world saw the Russian election as a scam.

Israel's elections were not a scam.

Putin was not legitimately elected. Bibi's party won a plurality then formed a government with allied or semi-allied parties under a parliamentary, coalition government style.

Following your logic, Xi Jinping was legitimately elected because he was voted in 2067-0 at the Great Hall of the People by the "representatives of the people." That's a dictator. Putin's "election" was manipulated, just like the Saar plebiscite in 1936. Hamas was legitimately elected, winning 72 out of the 132 seats in the Palestinian parliament and they haven't had another election since.
