“You’ve lost your mind for some reason and you need to be replaced” — Former Israeli PM Barak on current PM Netanyahu
Benjamin
Netanyahu’s days are numbered. There is near unanimity among people
that matter from the hawkish right to the left that Benjamin Netanyahu
remaining Prime Minister is the biggest national security threat to the
state of Israel. For the first time there will be recognition by all PM
wannabees that egos must be put aside toward the goal of removing
Netanyahu. They will use draconian language to emphasize the threat
Netanyahu and the “settlers” pose to the Zionist enterprise and terrify
the Israeli center.
And while they may sound
like the neocons here warning the country about Trump and Fascism,
unlike the neocons in America the people issuing the warnings in Israel
are not viewed as if they have their own agenda and shouldn’t be
trusted. The Israeli Jewish public won’t be able to ignore the many
former close allies of Netanyahu who now insist that one more term of
Netanyahu is the real existential threat to Israel.
Why is all this happening now? A big part of the answer is that the whole Murdering Medic story
(the execution by an Israeli sergeant of a prone Palestinian in
occupied Hebron March 24, and the subsequent broad support for the
racial murder inside Israeli politics) made clear to a group of very
important people in Israel that if there is no “intervention” the dark
forces being unleashed by Netanyahu will consume the country and imperil
its future. http://mondoweiss.net/2016/06/netanyahu-agonistes/
