We won’t know for sure till the end of the week but so far it looks like it’s the one in the middle – Benjamin Netanyahu – a racist for all seasons.
Netanyahu is also on record as saying
“Israeli is not a state for all its citizens” and “Palestinians are an existential threat to Israel”
As history has told us over and over again – it’s language like this which precedes genocide.
Human rights activists here and around the world must continue to build the BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) against Israel to end its racist, apartheid policies against Palestinians.

It is all power and politics, under the sheen of religion. It applies on both sides, hence no point pointing fingers at just these 3 individuals.
You vote for Shit 1, Shit 2 or Shit 3.
They picked Shit 2.
Meanwhile literally next door is dictator Bashar al-Assad but no mention of him or his murderous regime by Minto . .
Very sad John, in fact, horrific but it seems to be what their version of democracy wants.
Yair Lapid’s comments are actually in support of a two state solution – and his coalition government included an Arab Israeli party (first time ever).
Benjamin Netanyahu’s vanity project – restoration to the PM job via alliance with the extreme right Religious Zionist party is the biggest mistake of his career (and that of Likud).
The “Grey River Argus” has warned Mr Netanyahu many times that we will not stand for this!
I wonder if any of the line-up have read this 2014 book. I haven’t but I am lessimportant than them with less important decisions to make.
Humanity-Craft for New Epoch Leaders
Avant-Garde Politician: Leaders for a New Epoch
Yehezkel Dror (Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Hebrew University of Jerusalem).
Washington: Westphalia Press (Policy Studies Organization), April 2014, 350p, $17.50pb.
…His book is intended for a global audience: all who are interested in politics and policy studies writ large, political leaders and their advisors, and “the large variety of non-political leaders and decision-makers who desire to impact the future of humanity for the better.”
Dror’s distinctive style of providing long and provocative lists of points to support his wise arguments (sometimes with numbered items, sometimes not) is certainly apparent in this encyclopedic tour de force. It is not easy reading (I found myself dipping into the book on four different occasions), but the wealth of well-documented insights deserves multiple visits. Unfortunately, there is no index. So, to avoid missing any topic of substance, reviewing the chapters “by the numbers” is especially appropriate in this instance.
Introduction
The fateful leap in human capacities to shape its future in interaction with the environment started around the mid-20th century with the atomic bomb. This was only a beginning: the leap in human capacities has become a quantum jump, and now includes rapidly escalating capabilities to destroy humanity. Citing Donald Michael’s 1968 book on The Unprepared Society, Dror warns of “Unprepared Humanity,” cascading into an epoch of metamorphosis. Yet, the vast majority of humanity is not aware of the existential challenges, and “the vast majority of political leaders are sleepwalkers,” suffering from significant mental blind spaces which assure disasters.
Given this diagnosis, this book fuses two leitmotifs: 1) the need for a novel “Humanity Constitution,” together with constantly expanding global law; and 2) bringing to the fore a novel type of “avant-garde” political leader with the qualities needed to cope with an era of metamorphosis, including founding the required Humanity Constitution. Dror explores the qualities of mind required by these politicians, and offers guidelines for becoming one. A new cohort of innovative moral, value, and spiritual leaders is also needed, “as illustrated by Pope Francis.”
