    Wake me up if you’ve heard this one before: A president/PM/etc. who would face massive consequences for his criminality if he were not president holds an entire country politically hostage by giving special extra rights to religious fundamentalists.

      You know so far the only person killed by Hezekiah rockets was a 12 year old Bedouin girl. Rockets don’t really deliver consequences well.
