Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, was accused of corruption and in 2019 was formally charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust. He submitted a request for immunity to the parliamentary speaker, was criticized for doing so and eventually withdrew it. His trial continues to the present day.

Public demonstrations against him have been ongoing since 2017 so he’s not the most popular of politicians. In 2023 large-scale protests took place across Israel in response to his government’s attempts to reform the make-up of the Judicial Selection Committee, so that control over the appointment of judges would effectively be up to his government, and that many aspects of the constitution would in future be decided by politicians rather than the judiciary.

We’ve heard all about the Hamas attack on October 7th and the daily deluge of news reports concerning deaths, hostages and temporary ceasefires. Everyone knew that the Israelis were going to hit back hard and the subsequent death toll among Palestinian civilians has surprised no-one. What did strike many observers as odd was how the attack launched from Gaza had been so successful. It now turns out that the attack didn’t come as such a shock after all, Israel’s intelligence knew about the plan all along and reported it. Strangely, nothing was done about it.

So this is a good one for the conspiracy theorists. It’s possible Netanyahu knew what Hamas had planned and decided it would be in his interests not to nip it in the bud. When your country is attacked, you need a strong leader, just like him. It wouldn’t be the first time this sort of thing has happened.

If true, it would make him a totally unscrupulous cunt. If he had any idea about the scale of the attack which killed 1200 citizens and chose to let it happen, that would make him an unbelievably callous cunt who deserves whatever punishment an Israeli court might consider justifiable.
