That's a whole nother thing. I know Netanyhu was already likely on the way out before, but I can't see how the Israelis let him stay in control after this.

He's literally the reason all this is happening because the only way his group maintains power is if voters are scared. So he created a reason for them to be scared.

There is not just one man behind this, despite how convenient this would be.

Agreed its not one man. It's zionism

I agree with you, but you might find the history of Zionism interesting. Before Israel, there was a sizable portion of Zionists that didn't want Israel to exist in the middle east. There were also Zionists that didn't want a 'state'. They thought it was more important to have a safe place for a sizable Jewish population. There's probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you'd agree with. It's the dominant Israeli Zionism that's horrible.

It's a lot easier to say 'Zionist' though. Just thought I'd share in case you weren't aware.

In the link I provided above it says something very similar:

While it had many strains historically, the Zionism that took hold and stands today is a settler-colonial movement, establishing an apartheid state where Jews have more rights than others. Our own history teaches us how dangerous this can be.

Palestinian dispossession and occupation are by design. [...]

Apart from that when you say There's probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you'd agree with I must inform you that this is not the case.

He's not the only man on the ship but he's the one at the helm.

Netanyahu allowed suitcases full of money across the border into Gaza
