    The headline had me scratching my head on if it was good or not to be honest. I’m leaning towards not good though, unless it blows up in his face somehow.

      It will 100% blow up in his face.

      Bibi is a “moderate” because Israels Overton Window is just as fucked as America’s.

      Getting him out of power might result in a more rightwing leader.

      And a desperate Bibi that has no chance of winning an election, would want to prolong military actions as long as possible to use the excuse that they can’t hold an election.

      So it’s just a question of how many people’s faces this will blow up in.

      A cornered animal is always most dangerous, but if they refuse to leave your bathroom, at some point you’re gonna have to either corner and remove it, or just accept that a family of rabid racoons now live in your toilet.

        It blowing up in his face making everything worse wasn’t a outcome I thought of. Very scary thought.

          I’m like the Larry Byrd of pessimism.

          So to be clear, this could work out great, elections get called, Bibi loses gracefully, and a left wing collation can take control.

          But man, how often do we get the best possible result these days?

            Not often enough, probably why some of us are “happy” with “not that bad”. Side note I doubt bibi would be graceful about a loss.
