Netanyahu is what we thought he was...A corrupt piece of crap

The Mozes case is the biggest deal here. Netanyahu got caught trying to undermine a right-wing paper (owned by Trump mega-donor Sheldon Aldelson, whom Netanyahu calls "the gingy"--i. e., "the redhead&quot

He's one of those politicians who have 9 lives. No matter how many scandals and political setbacks, he stays in power.

Yesh Atid... yeah. They support settlements so even if they could form a coalition against Likudniks, it won't make much of a difference.
