The headline had me scratching my head on if it was good or not to be honest. I’m leaning towards not good though, unless it blows up in his face somehow.
Bibi is a “moderate” because Israels Overton Window is just as fucked as America’s.
Getting him out of power might result in a more rightwing leader.
And a desperate Bibi that has no chance of winning an election, would want to prolong military actions as long as possible to use the excuse that they can’t hold an election.
So it’s just a question of how many people’s faces this will blow up in.
A cornered animal is always most dangerous, but if they refuse to leave your bathroom, at some point you’re gonna have to either corner and remove it, or just accept that a family of rabid raremoveds now live in your toilet.
Is it that dramatic though? NBC calls it “a widely expected move”
Netanyahu doing scummy things to cling to power no matter what is indeed a widely expected move.
I mean, terrible things can be expected to.
If trump becomes president the whole country could be expected to go down in flames.
But just because we can all see it coming, doesn’t mean we just shrug it off if he wins the election.
For this headline though, someone could just read the headline and assume it’s a good thing. It sounds like a good thing.
But it’s not.

It will 100% blow up in his face.

It blowing up in his face making everything worse wasn’t a outcome I thought of. Very scary thought.
I’m like the Larry Byrd of pessimism.
So to be clear, this could work out great, elections get called, Bibi loses gracefully, and a left wing collation can take control.
But man, how often do we get the best possible result these days?
Not often enough, probably why some of us are “happy” with “not that bad”. Side note I doubt bibi would be graceful about a loss.
Trump doing illegal shit is also a “widely expected move”. Expected, not good.
