‘A lot of discontent’: Netanyahu alone as Israel turns on wartime PM
www.aljazeera.com
From families of Hamas captives to politicians in his own government, Netanyahu’s popularity is at an all-time low.

In [the neocolony], 94 percent of the population believes Netanyahu’s government is at least partially to blame for the events of October 7, when Hamas fighters broke through border fences and attacked southern [occupied Palestine, possibly] killing 1,200 people.

Ninety‐four percent of the neocolony’s own population are presumably pro‐Hamas, self‐hating Jews! It would be funny if Zionists seriously suggested that, but they probably aren’t quite that narcissistic… probably.

Netanyahu has so far refused a larger deal for a temporary ceasefire in exchange for the release of more captives. He said he would only consider stopping the assault on Gaza when all hostages are freed. Reports suggest that Palestinian groups offered to release at least 50 of the hostages in exchange for a three-day ceasefire but Netanyahu allegedly rebuffed the deal.

I am going to piss myself laughing if all of this results in the people rebelling against their régime. You can all say that that’s too good to be possible, but if he keeps this up, I wouldn’t be so sure. It’s almost like he wants people to overthrow him.

      It’s called the “Israel Economic Stabilization Plan”. It’s a series of blitz privatizations done to handle inflation. The meddling part came into play at the offices of the Israeli ministry of finance – there were loads of Friedman-inspired economists sent by the US to participate in the meetings they held regarding the soaring inflation. The US also offered financial support (I think like a billion dollars or smth) conditioned by these privatizations.

      This is of course nothing like US meddling with brown people - there was no blood spilled (excluding people dying of poverty 🥸), but meddling it was nontheless.

      Unfortunately the only lefty source I can point to regarding the topic is in Hebrew. The meddling is not mentioned on any English source I found (or Hebrew for that matter). This move is actually regarded as ingenious among economists :) Just for shits and giggles, here’s the Hebrew source, idk, for lurkers
