Despite Gaza, Netanyahu Is Topping the Polls in Israel Again. He Should Thank Iran
Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu is enjoying an unbelievable, if not unbearable, recovery in the polls, despite Israel's dire diplomatic and security situation. In cold campaign terms, his management of the Gaza war and the drawn-out hostage crisis is a losing issue – but there's salvation in Tehran
An Israeli expression holds that you must "rub your eyes" at the sight of something that is at once unbearable and incomprehensible.

02:25Many Israelis have almost completely switched off to the reality of their situation. They have switched off to the truth. They don't want to know. They will follow this man to disaster as they have been for a long time.

23:13Bibi has been consistently tough and consistently righteous. When a leader vaccillates weak enough not to resist the leftist slant his enemies will take advantage until they destroy him. That is how filthy politics is.

21:56I suppose many Israelis were also impressed by the many standing ovations Netanyahu received in the American Congress. Forgetting that Zelenskyy also received enthusiastic applause in the same Congress - and look where Ukraine is now.

20:51Un-effing-believeable. After reading this, I don't want to hear another person blame the Palestinians for the election of Hamas. At least the Palestinians have the excuse that most of them weren't born yet. Then again, at least a third of my country wants to re-elect Donald Trump. God help us, people are stupid.
