  1. If the Israeli citizens won’t dismiss Netanyahu, another military will come in and dismiss him for them. And the entire IDF. And likely many, many city blocks.

  2. Israel is a fascist state , run by a fascist government, led by a fascist leader. They deserve no support from the United States and the next Democratic president should cut off all aid to Israel as long as they continue this path.

  4. “Low energy and woke Gail disrespected our IDF and our flag. He only cares about being re-elected. When I was in Gaza with our brave soldiers on the front line he took a vacation. He is CORRUPT and his accusations are UNLAWFUL!!! MIGA! Thank you for attention to this matter.”

  5. Imagine being on trial and getting to fire the prosecutor. That’s not democracy—that’s authoritarianism.

  6. Did most Israelis really think that a corrupt politician like Netanyahu was going to save Israel and not commit war crimes? Most Israelis can't afford any longer to continue standing by silently while the Israeli government is committing its own version of Holocaust against millions of Palestinians.

  8. What is going on in the world? And why is everybody just sitting by and watching?

  9. Do you think the refugees relocated to Israel after WWII had any idea their government was going to turn into the monster they fled, less than a century later?

  10. Weird how this all reminds me of our own government. Every day. Both countries have criminal presidents, an office they don’t belong in because they are cruel and unfit for office.

  11. Have Israeli universities started paying extortion money to Netanyahu yet, or is that coming in next week’s episode?

  12. Netanyahu & Trump follow the same script written by Putin, MBS, Xi and the Kim Il-Sung family. Netanyahu & Trump believe in authoritarianism, too; they despise participatory republic democracy because both are despotic criminals, just like the other four arseholes named above.

  13. Update: Israel’s High Court already put an emergency stay in place pending judicial review. The Court will rule against this.

    Also, it’s probably not the worst thing Bibi did today. Pushing Edelman over the Haredi exemption might be. (Here, the Court has already told the Knesset to kick rocks).
