"…there came a point, a few weeks ago, when I realized, the government isn’t going to end the war, isn’t bringing the hostages back, and isn’t helping the evacuees.”
" Increasingly, Netanyahu’s many opponents are questioning his handling of the war. Others are questioning the prime minister’s motives, suggesting his political interest lies in the continuation of the fighting, which inevitably delays his political demise. Netanyahu is currently under trial on various charges of corruption."
Well what could be going on in Israel, if people are unhappy with Netanyahu’s handling of the war (killing Israeli hostages, for example) and unhappy with Israel’s extremist right wing government in general? Do you suppose this criticism is coming from hippie leftist antisemitic hamas supporters? My conservative friends tell me any criticism of Israel’s a government is certainly hippie leftist nazi antisemitic hamas-loving woke transgender propaganda.
If I understand the timeline correctly, in September, Netanyahu was unpopular, in trouble for corruption, and people were demonstrating in the streets. Suddenly, there was an attack and all dissatisfaction with Likud and Netanyahu vanished.
How could Israel’s security forces have blundered so badly to allow such an attack, resulting in a long war agsinst a shadowy guerrilla enemy that you can never be completely sure you’ve defeated? A war that seems to keep Netanyahu in power. I’m just asking questions.
The problem with your assessment is here:
“Suddenly, there was an attack and all dissatisfaction with Likud and Netanyahu vanished.”
Very much this is not the case. The removal of Netanyahu is a slow process but his lasting support primarily was based on his promise of domestic security for Israelis and that has obviously disappeared. Democracy is a slow process.
