Given that the NYT, The Guardian, the BBC, and the left wing MSM in general have their panties in a bunch over Netanyahu’s new law, I would not automatically assume he's the bad guy in this. (Also that Biden’s admin opposes Netanyahu is a point in Bibi’s favor). Nor would I assume that the judicial’s prosecution for corruption should be taken at face value. It’s not like we haven’t seen disruptive, “right wing” politicians persecuted by leftwing legal establishments before.
Israel, long a bastion of leftwing socialism, has been moving politically right as it has gotten older. I think the only thing that kept it from going loonytunes left into the usual socialist “utopia” long before this is, ironically, its enemies. When you have people massed on every border — and within your border — ready to murder you and every one of your children and neighbors today, immediately, It forces a kind of reality check against going too far afield. The Palestinians’ long running attacks and repeated purposeful missing of opportunities to have their own government AND live in peace with Israel has made most Israelis very practical and realist.
I think it’s this constant threat of annihilation and attack, that has moved Israel rightward, and allowed more capitalism, more free enterprise, and a higher tech economy to flourish. This shift has been reflected in the governments, at least the part elected by the people. And as a consequence of this, the Israeli left has been losing power in society and government, not only in the Knesset, but in the executive part of government as well.
The left’s last bastion of power in the government is in the judiciary, with its unelected power. The supporters of the new law argue that the judiciary, and particularly the Supreme Court, have been appropriating power to themselves that allows them to override the laws and decisions of the more rightwing elective officials of government well outside of what an unelected part of government should be able to do.
A lot of this should produce echos, no?
In any case, I would not take the mainstream press is characterization of the fight between the government and the judiciary at face value. Bibi may or may not be a crook, but he also may or may not be right about what he’s doing.
In the meantime, I hope Bibi stomps the living guts out of Hamas, and maybe Iran while he is at it. I would be happy to divert all the Ukraine funding to Israel for this purpose.
Historical factoid: Bibi’s brother Yonatan was the only Israeli soldier killed during the Entebbe rescue. He was the commander of the troops on the ground. Bibi and I believe another brother also served their military time in the same special ops-typ unit as Yonatan.

What would DJT do, if this guy was his National Security Advisor?

‘The Middle East Region Is Quieter Today Than It Has Been in Two Decades’
A week ago, Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, sounded optimistic about the region.
FIFY
Current US leadership could quickly turn this into a 2023 hostage crisis like the one the Carter administration fumbled it's way through. Making one mistake after another while making blowsy statements to big media and in the end being made to look like fools.
Things look more and more like the 1970s.

One thing for sure when Israel has time to figure out what went wrong. It will get fixed before they do the same thing again. Well find out what failed and why.
Imagine 2000 cartel soldiers coming across into rural Arizona and doing something like this to the United States.
How long would it take to respond and what would our response be?

I imagine Pres. Puddinhead thinks Ukraine would be his legacy.
