Netanyahu is Israel’s Trump, but with a Much Greater Intellect
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Years ago, I reported about the problems in
the Middle East. My allegation was focused on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and his refusal to negotiate with Palestinian leaders in good faith. Instead,
he continued his policy of taking land away from the Palestinian people to grow
the size of Israel.
Recently he attempted to eliminate his
country’s Supreme Court, amassing all power for himself. This might remind you
of America’s 45th and illegitimate president who continues his big
lie, that the 2020 election was “rigged.”
A JUSTIFIABLE RESPONSE
No one denies Israel’s retaliation against
Hamas for the kidnapping and murders of innocent men, women, and children.
However, his disrespect and lack of compassion for thousands of innocent people
in Gaza is inhumane and unforgivable.
AN EFFORT TOWARDS AUTOCRACY
What must be examined are his plans for the
Palestinian people. He continues to reject a “two-state solution,” denying the
human rights of an entire nation of people.
The current situation began in 1948 when
Israel was given Statehood by the United Nations. During the same period of
time Palestinian leaders requested similar action for their people, but have
been denied equality for the last 76 years. Each time this was presented for a
vote, the United States, a member of the Security Council, vetoed the
proposition.
U.S. AND NETANYAHU IN CONSPIRACY
Several times over the last seven decades
hope was given to the Palestinian people. However, when Netanyahu rose to power
in 1996, hope began to fade.
Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to give
billions of dollars in military aid to Israel.
Support for Netanyahu is dwindling in
America, and most likely within Israel.
President Biden recently voiced his concern
about Netanyahu’s apparent attempt to capture Gaza and make it a part of
Israel. We should all be equally concerned.
