The driving priority for both Trump and Netanyahu is their own personal interests. The creation of this most extreme government in Israel’s history was about keeping Netanyahu in power and hence out of jail.
Netanyahu is in the middle of a corruption trial that has already lasted more than three years. And power gives the pair the best prospect of avoiding justice.
Trump proved his willingness to launch populist attacks on the institutions of state throughout his presidency, culminating in his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result and his part in rousing a mob to storm the Capitol. If he returns to power, Americans can expect a full-on assault on the independence of the judicial system and Department of Justice.
Netanyahu has gone a different route by forging a coalition with some of the most extreme ultranationalist parties in Israel, even if he does not share some of their views, such as their HOSTILITIES to LGBTQ rights.
Their leaders are unashamedly racist about Arabs and open about their ambitions to annex some or all of the occupied territories, and make permanent the Israeli dominance over the Palestinians.
The coalition is pushing ahead with legislation to curb the power of Israel’s judiciary that has prompted some of the biggest demonstrations in the country’s history PRIOR TO THE OCTOBER MASSACRE and a deep political crisis. The first stage passed on Monday, when Israel’s parliament voted to limit the supreme court’s ability to overturn laws.
Trump and Netanyahu = Bad Voodoo for their Democratic nations.
Pay attention to this alliance and why it is there. Trump is as bad for Israel’s future as he is for the future of America.
