For all of its many faults, the Israeli government (historically) has largely been acting in the interest of its people. It’s the only country in the region that can legitimately make that claim.

This particular government (Bibi & Co.) has screwed the pooch and will hopefully pay the price in the coming election (and then some).

JFC. You’re so hard done by.

I recall posts in which you’ve tried to have it both ways in saying that Israel as a whole is responsible and deserves to be collectively punished, and now just the government.

I’m sure you’ll feel insulted and demand a cite. I don’t work for you. I’ll leave it to others to draw their own conclusions.
