In reply to the discussion: Chuck Schumer calls for new elections in Israel, criticizing Netanyahu's leadership [View all]Mosby
(18,849 posts)21. Interesting opinion from an Israeli analyst.
I dunno guys. From where Im sitting, the Democrats seem doggedly committed to handing Bibi his reelection campaign.
If you make him the hero standing up to American pressure on Israel/waffling on Hamas, you give him his one chance for political survival. Hes a political dead man walking because October 7 happened on his watch, and because hes generally distrusted and unliked by a large majority of the public. (Thats not an opinion. We have extensive polls.)
The sooner Hamas is defeated, the sooner the election comes and the sooner Netanyahu almost certainly falls. (Again, every poll and study.)
If Democrats dont understand that, hell run circles around them.

a lasting peace only will come with a 2 state solution, which of course Netanyahu opposes
