Netanyahu said he had the U.S. wrapped around his little finger, implying he could do pretty much anything and never lose American support and money.

He's used the very real pain and suffering of the Jewish people as an excuse to be an authoritarian warmonger. If other nations complain, he accuses them of being "antisemitic".

No sane person condones the brutal genocide of the Jewish people in the 1930s and 1940s, as no one should condone what Netanyahu is doing to his neighbors in the Middle East.

Sometimes it appears as if we've never really learned anything. History just keeps repeating itself, different players using the same old script.
