Anyone But Bibi: In Israel, Ex-General Stirs Hope Of Change
JERUSALEM (AP) — Former military chief Benny Gantz has burst onto Israel's political scene as the great hope of the country's shrinking "peace camp" with a message that is anything but dovish.
The retired general, who wants to topple Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in April 9 elections, boasts of killing Palestinian militants and aligns himself with political hard-liners. He fires back at Netanyahu's criticism with scathing counterattacks. In today's Israel, Gantz's ready-to-rumble rhetoric appears to be the only way to bring down the long-serving Netanyahu. That's turning him into an unlikely source of hope for Israelis who view ending their country's rule over the Palestinians, now in its 51st year, as a priority.

1. Israel has a love-hate relationship with Bibi.
when things are relatively calm- they want hiom out. But as soon as the Palestinians or Lebanese or any of the other Muslim nations that surround Israel act up-
They want him back to restore calm and peace. |

2. That is why should it look like Bibi is going down in defeat, you can make book there will be some
horrific "false-flag" involving the Palestinians.
Many a chapter in the israeli "False-Flag" history book. |

Fling an excuse because there is not any big thing you can find to post.
Israel has made mistakes yes- and soldiers have been sent to prison for cruelty and killing without justification. So we will see if you actually have something or just relying on lame excuses. |

11. Just realized my above reply to you had a typo. It was supposed to read "You aren't worth my time".
Sorry for the confusion...
