Did Netanyahu Get Ousted?


The Israeli elections were last week and the nation awaits a new prime minister.

I want you to know that I don't care who becomes the next prime minister of the country. Both will continue to push forth their abuse of Palestinians. The United States will continue allow the Israeli government to push forth controversial policies. The United Nations condemned the country numerous times only for America to rebuke the notion.

Every fucking time someone dares to question Israel, they immediately label you anti-Semitic even though they have no clue to why. Israel is a democracy not a religious theocracy. They keep assuming that Israel is the Jewish state.

No. It is not.

I am hoping we're going to see an end to Benjamin Netanyahu and his legacy of bigotry, showboating and his controversial alliance with Donald J. Trump.

Trump and Netanyahu have a strong bond. This bond has cause such a disaster in the Middle East.

Netanyahu used his friendship with Trump to help his struggling campaign. The far-white leader has been openly critical of the JPCA, the Iran Nuclear Deal that Trump pulled out in 2017. He praised Trump for pulling out the deal.

He also praised Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as the capital. He also advocated Trump's support of the controversial annexation of the Golan Heights. He also did a favor for Trump by banning Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from entry to Israel (which included the West Bank and Gaza Strip).

Tlaib is an American lawmaker who has family that lives in the West Bank. She was told that she could enter the country if she abandons criticism of the Israeli government and it's brutal occupation of the Gaza Strip and building of settlements of the West Bank.

Netanyahu was hoping to do a controversial move. He was going to Jordan Valley, an area that is occupied by the Palestinian government.

He pitched these ideas to the Likud Party, a far-right version of Republicans in Israeli politics.

His rival Benny Gantz is looking more likely to succeed him as prime minister.

Israeli's main Arab political parties endorse Gantz for prime minister, breaking a nearly 17-year long stand of not endorsing a candidate in the hope of forcing Netanyahu to step aside.

Gantz's centrist Blue and White Party the most seats in the September 17 election with 33 out of the parliament's 120 seats, while Netanyahu's Likud ended with 31. The Joint List, an Arab coalition of Israelis had won 13 seats. It takes 61 seats to form a government.

This isn't over.

Netanyahu's dirty ass isn't resigning and is hoping to coral far-right and Islamophobic lawmakers to side with him. He wants to paint his opponents as anti-Semitic and too cozy with terrorism.

He will ask his American allies here to help sow discourse and

Now that the Israeli government is being formed, many in the allied parties are choosing Gantz over Netanyahu.
