Even though the saying goes, each country gets the government it deserves. Even a democratically elected government is not the same as its people.
This is why I have started to... https://mastodon.social/@DrALJONES/111963080262253515
...talk about the #Netanyahu Government. Also, naming the savage butchery of over 1,100 civilians, #Jewish and other nationals, on Oct 7th, 2023, by the #Hamas#terrorists as a starting point, gives some balance without engaging in #MAGA#bothesidesism.

#Netanyahu is very likely a criminal and needs to be tried by an independent #judiciary, as even the would-be dictator #DonaldTrump is facing legal repercussions in the #US.

@HistoPol@DrALJONES Whatever merit anything else you wrote has, you lost every reader of sound mind and morals at “naming Oct 7th as the starting point”.
