World War III: Brought to You By Bibi Netanyahu
Iran launches retaliatory strike on Israel
There is no limit to what Netanyahu will do to stay out of jail.
Last September, Benjamin Netanyahu was in the middle of a criminal trial for fraud and corruption.
Then Hamas attacked and everything was put on hold. H’mmm.
Israel systematically slaughtered over 33,000 Palestinians and destroyed half of the last remaining slice of land where those people have been trapped for decades. When the bloodshed got bad enough, the West finally got uncomfortable and leaders from Joe Biden to British PM Rishi Sunak started complaining. Bibi found himself increasingly isolated on the world stage.
What is a corrupt, war-loving, democracy-avoidant politician to do?
Attack a diplomatic building in another sovereign country, that’s what. Just the kind of thing that is generally seen as an act of war. But Bibi seems to have his finger on the pulse of the West. He knows who butters the bread of the industrialized world. Or should I say, he knows who oils the engines of the industrialized world.
Instead of a raucous public outcry, Israel’s act of war against Syria has been met with ear-splitting silence.
