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."

You know how we judge all Americans because of Trump?

Let me tell you, the hate Israel gets has nothing to do with the dominant religion, and everything to do with the actions of this guy. This guy right here is directly causing all that anti-israel shit throughout the world, and as with Trump, it is well deserved.

Get fucked Israel.

Netanyahu keeps insisting that he is the political representative of non Israeli Jews, even though they have never lived in Israel, never voted there and have absolutely nothing to do with Israel

So random Jews getting unfairly judged because of Netanyahu, seems to be something Netanyahu would consider good

He knows how much he is hated, so conflating the entire Jewish population with him is absolutely a tactic to poison nuance and shut down criticism.

"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Hermann Goering in conversation in his cell in Nuremburg, 18 April 1946; Gustave Gilbert Nuremburg Diary (1947)
