This is an excellent piece, and very thought provoking. The problem in the UK is anyone who even critises Isreal is branded anti semetic. This to me is just crazy as there is a huge difference between anti jewish and anti Isreal government comments, given the opposition to the government from people living in Isreal on our logic they are anti semetic.

Netanyahu seems to be doing anything to hold on to power, his offenses are reported here, so how the heck he still holds on to power is also worrying, sort of like Donald Trump, trying to argue he won an election he lost. only for Netanyahu he managed to pull off staying in power.

I am kinda of guessing the Jewish people didn't vote for a right wing party, they didn't vote for Netanyahu but somehow he ended up with the largest party, does this imply a problem with the whole electorial system, especially in the west.

Until we are able to discuss this without the fear of being branded anti semetic, nothing much will happen, people justdon't listen to a viewpoin.

I got an hint of things to come when it was announced here the party that had won was right wing, the whole region needs stability and for that to happen we need to discuss the issue openly, throw ideas around and come up with something, no one solution is right, but 3-4 solutions may contain some useful ideas that if combined could really work.

I don't agree with the current land grab, demolishing peoples homes and taking over is to me just wrong, you would not put ip with that in other countries, but it is Isreal

Perhaps they need the same system the US has, a president can only serve 2 terms, then can't run for a 3rd let along subsequent tersm. A lower and upper chamber is also essential for the checks / balances on the policies of the ruling party.

Anyway will be interesting to see what happens, thanks for posting and would be good to discuss further, nice thing about Mastodon is we can have difficult but essential interlectual conversation.
