General Discussion

I think that Putin and Netanyahu are twins. Putin sees himself as a great czar rebuilding an imperial Russia with many territories and great power. Netanyahu sees this war as his chance to become the savior of Israel by fulfilling Ben Gurion’s dream of an Israel occupying all the lands of Palestine, from sea to sea, and the Palestinian people eliminated. Both are madmen whose egos and greed for power and greatness long ago surpassed common sense and human decency. I’m not sure either actually ever had any decency.

I have noticed changes in comments to NYT and Washington Post articles over the past few months. Those defending everything Israel does because Hamas killed some Israelis seem to be gone while most of the comments now condemn Netanyahu and Israel for its brutality, for its continued murders in the West Bank, and for its unprovoked attacks on Iran and Syria. I hope thus means that Trump will cut Netanyahu loose and stop all aid. Other nations need to do the same.
