    Is Israel in the hands of a dictator or something? How is this dude still in power? Are there really that many blood-thirsty people in power supporting him? Maybe the solution would be to abduct some of their family and hand them to Hamas?

      He did remove their supreme court’s ability to try him for his crimes, his party is the majority in Israeli parliament, he’s disbanded the war cabinet, and they’re actively trying to push back the next election date. So yeah, pretty much a dictator.

      Netanyahu would lose a massive amount of power if President Biden would stop sending him so much money and weapons. Even the threat of doing so would have a huge impact. So arguably, a puppet dictator is more accurate. Although the way they interact would lead one to believe Bibi is the actual puppet master.
