... and his insatiable craving for dominion over the lives of others (more commonly called POWER) including his own countrymen, has put him in danger of becoming that which every son – and daughter – of Abraham despises most in this world.
When disagreeing with Netanyahu's foreign policies, and the army's methods of implementing them, lands a school teacher in solitary confinement, Israel's got a problem. A BIG one.
Bibi's ruthless savagery has effectively destroyed international support for Israel in this conflict. Hamas is not representative of all Palestinians; Hamas are monstrous cowards who hide behind women and children. They care nothing about Palestinian civilians and they deserve no mercy. But deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians, hospitals, and journalists is not only a blatant violation of international law, it is a monstrous act that denies Netanyahu – and by extension, Israel – any claim to the moral high ground.
And criticizing Netanyahu does NOT make one anti-Israel, any more than criticizing Donald Trump makes one anti-American.
If one is willing to sacrifice one's basic humanity in pursuit of a goal, maybe it's time to re-evaluate the legitimacy of that goal and how one gets there.
