The Israeli Prime Minister is a criminal on the lam in his own government. He has been on trial for corruption for over three years, and he was in charge of the government for years (2009 – 2021 and 2022 until now) before the October 7 atrocities occurred in southern Israel. His evasion of responsibility for the negligence of his administration of cronies has been nothing but stunning.
He unleashed unbridled violence against combatants and civilians alike in Gaza for the sole purpose of earning the distinction of an International Criminal Court indictment in order to galvanize his base, and when this base managed to keep his government intact on June 13, 2025, he launched attacks on Iran to draw attention away from the grievous situation in Gaza. In 20 months, this reprobate prime minister has managed to erase all memory of his gross incompetence at the heart of the October 7 massacres by overseeing atrocities that galvanize his base and by hoodwinking the American President into validating his bogus war against Iran with tactical strikes; strikes that squandered American taxpayer dollars and risked placing America’s most prized bomber in harm’s way in an ultimately unsuccessful sortie to defuse Iran’s atomic bomb progam.
In nearly all political crimes, it is the coverup that undoes the criminal. The Israeli PM’s military efforts have ensured that Israel’s national integrity is harmed by his removal. By thus ensuring that Israel’s existence is imperiled by any attempt for reckoning, the Israeli PM has delayed such reckoning beyond his death, by which time Israel may be a pariah nation. The deviousness of this plan is surpassed only by its unfathomable recklessness. It’s hard to imagine that any Israeli endowed with a sense of country, a grasp of morality and a desire for a peaceful future will elect to stay in Israel.
The timing of Israel’s attack on Iran one day after Israel’s PM survived a confidence vote in the Israeli parliament establishes political survival as his motivation, not patriotism.
