In reply to the discussion: ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants against Sinwar and Netanyahu for war crimes over October 7 attack and Gaza [View all]AZLD4Candidate
(6,789 posts)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.

OP
Putin and Netanyahu have a lot in common. Both are brutal dictators who reject peace and embrace murder.

I didn't call him a dictator, I only pointed out he tosses people in prison without charges

True, but what is failed to notice is that enforcing the warrants is up to the individual countries,

I imagine they'd love to arrest Bibi if he was stupid enough to make a visit to Palestine.
