Netanyahu is like the turd that just won’t flush
4 hours ago
Netanyahu has edged out his rivals in the Israeli elections. This comes as a huge disappointment to those who wanted to rehabilitate Israel by pinning the country’s crimes on one man. Everyone else knew it would make no difference whoever ends up in charge.
The elections had a record 77.7% turnout. Exit polls had predicted a bad night for Netanyahu to the delight of liberals who pretend they were never on his side. An excited Emily Thornberry jumped the gun, posting that Israel has rejected Netanyahu’s dark vision, forever war and cruel, dystopic, authoritarian policies.

The “anti-Netanyahu block” is also pro-genocide, Emily

Israeli Exit Polls show Netanyahu’s been defeated. Israel has rejected his dark vision, forever war & cruel, dystopic, authoritarian policies. But to succeed, the anti Netanyahu block needs to work with the Israeli Arab parties. I dearly hope this great chance isn’t wasted

'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.'
