On January 20, Netanyahu said no to independent Palestine, yes to settlement expansions.

Police states operate that way. Israel is one of the worst. It spurns rule of law principles. It turns democratic values on their head. It targets Palestinians for praying to the wrong God.

Odds favor hardline extremism. Netanyahu will remain prime minister. Knesset members and cabinet officials will reflect the worst of right-wing government. Palestinians, regional states, and others have cause for concern.

Israeli Arabs always knew what increasingly affects Jews. Israel is unfit to live in. It's unfair, unjust and unsafe. Rogue leaders control things. Wealth, power, privilege and dominance alone matter. Militarism and violence are prioritized over peace. Social justice rights go begging.

Israel threatens world peace and security. It's a global menace.

Morris' worldview is racist. It's fanciful, fabricated, and disturbing.

They've gone at each other before. Neither one likes the other.

Israeli governance combines militarism, repression, corruption, and neoliberal harshness. It's no fit place to live in. Many Jews vote with their feet and leave. Others prepare by securing foreign passports.

Netanyahu wages war on democracy. He threatens his own people. He gives chutzpah new meaning. He spurns Palestinian rights. He accelerated lawless settlement construction. He's stealing Palestinian land faster than ever.

They fast approach. They're sham elections. Except for more contesting parties, they replicate America's illegitimate process.

Post editors are contemptuous of fundamental human rights. They spurn democratic values. They consider rule of law principles quaint and out-of-date. Wealth, power, privilege, and dominance alone matter.

It shouldn't surprise. He's a world class thug. He deplores democratic principles. He spurns peace. He menaces the region. He prioritizes racist persecution. He stresses neoliberal harshness.

Mahmoud Abbas is a longtime Israeli collaborator. It took him 24 years to acknowledge it.

It’s illegal for Canadians to aid any group directly or indirectly associated with the elected Hamas government in Gaza yet it’s legal — and government will foot part of the bill — to finance charities linked to Israeli settlements that contravene international law...Canadian organizations can openly fund-raise for settlements illegal under international law and get the government to pay up to a third of the cost through tax credits for donations.

Netanyahu represents lawless rogue leadership. He belongs in prison, not high office. Pre-election polls suggest he'll retain power.
