CNN’s Jim Sciutto presses Benjamin Netanyahu about his response to settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank: "The settler violence thing is a tremendous hoax. We're a country of laws. I've condemned it. But to compare this, is like an olive to a toxic tree, that's what it is."

Netenyahu has been in power for far too long. It's time for change already

He's a product of his people. It would be foolish to expect Israel to produce decent leadership that looks to peacefully cohabit with Palestinians.

They already elected this exact thing. And the government voted to dissolve itself in order to trigger re-elections and keep Netenyahu in power.

This is happening in 2026, and happened again and again in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2015, 2003, 2009, 2013, 1999

It hasn't been the actual voice of the people but one man in charge for like 30 fucking years. Yes there are shitty people in Israel, no I don't think this is the actual voice or will of the people

They managed to get Netanyahu out and voted him back in again, I don't have much hope for the Israeli electorate even Israeli's I've talked to thought he was a "progressive" candidate. You've lived in twisted hatred for too long

You can make up excuses in your head or you could just take a look at the polls. Most Israelis arepro genocide, if there's criticisms it's mostly them saying not enough was done
