On a blot – Yossi Verter in Haaretz:

‘Bar described a dystopian situation in which the prime minister is acting like a dictator or the head of a criminal organization. He demanded that Bar extricate him from his criminal trial by making false claims of a security risk. He demanded that Bar take action against the people protesting against him in the streets.
He protected employees of his office who are up to their necks in ties with Qatar, Hamas' funder. He ousted Bar from the hostage negotiating team despite the critical role Bar and his agency play and their success in reaching earlier deals.’

(…)

‘In some of the incidents described above, Netanyahu whispered his requests in Bar's ear after sending his military secretary and his stenographer out of the room at the end of their official meeting. One minute he's a prime minister dealing with national security. The next he's a tyrant in the mode of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Netanyahu, who has long since lost his way, apparently assumed that Bar would swallow his dismissal, salute and go home. He never imagined that the ousted official would open a Pandora's box more horrifying than any opened during the country's previous 77 years of existence. And Bar did so not in an interview with journalist Ilana Dayan, but in an affidavit to the Supreme Court.’

(…)

‘In reality, neither the Supreme Court nor the attorney general would dare declare Netanyahu incapacitated, even though he absolutely is unfit to serve in every respect. He has ridden roughshod over the conflict-of-interest agreement he signed from the day it was written.
But a criminal investigation would be a suitable alternative. And the Supreme Court justices are authorized to order that.
After a speech by then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant two years and one month ago, I wrote that Netanyahu is a clear and present danger to national security. The proof of that has since arrived, bloodier and more painful than anyone could have imagined.’

‘He is a walking disgrace, a blot on Israel.’

Read the article here.

People keep electing presidents and politicians who are a clear danger to their security, their wellbeing, the state they are living in.

The state is merely the front office of a criminal organization.

All the attempts to turn the state into something more benign, more justified, are not very popular right now.
Boredom and the idea that there are first class and second class and third class human beings is still popular.

But, see the article in Haaretz, there is a backlash as well.

Sometimes I think, the tide is already turning.
