Bill Clinton expresses some cynicism over Netanyahu's motivations

[Juin]

.


He was a kid when he first became back in 1993. Then he was the Kid. The comeback kid, he styled himself; for those who recall. Today Billy is no more a kid. Bill is a senior citizen with tons of wisdom and experience under his belt. Anyone who doubts the magnitude of wisdom under Bill Clinton's belt can ask Monica Lewinsky.

But I digress. From his retirement Bill Clinton had this to say:


<<<
“Mr. Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran because that way he can stay in office forever and ever. I mean, he’s been there most of the last 20 years,” the former president said.
<<<



The more time passes the more this assault on Iran looks like Bibi's Folly. It's like an obsession. I get the impression if somehow the Ayatollah Khamenei is teleported to Mars Bibi will call for strikes on Mars!

What is even more alarming is that there may be no power on earth willing or able to rein in Bibi.

He is not wrong, furthering conflict ensures Netanyahu stays in power ever longer.

Prove it wrong, assuming you can.

If you're effective and doing useful work and the Israel people still want you, why not?

And he had all the impulse control of a kid ... going through puberty.

Oh...the old "prove me wrong" tactic.

Well, here you go: Bibi's motivation is the survival of Israel. Prove me wrong.

By ensuring the next 10 generations of Israelis face the same hatred and targets on their backs as the previous 10?

Clearly you nor Netanyahu have learned a damn thing.

By ensuring the next 10 generations of Israelis face the same hatred and targets on their backs as the previous 10?

Clearly you nor Netanyahu have learned a damn thing.

Because everyone knows that rolling over and dying when another nation threatens you with destruction is the best method to ensure the longevity of the nation.

???

They'll have that target on their backs no matter what any politician does. There is no way to get it off. All any Israeli politician can do is enable Israel to survive.

Then deal with the target, it is not going anywhere anytime soon no matter how many people are killed, women and children, at Netanyahu's command.

That is one way to justify non-stop warfare and loss of life. BTW, never complain about any other conflict around the globe otherwise you risk severe hypocrisy.

 

[Apocalypse]

Then deal with the target

Currently dealing with many targets in Iran.

Currently dealing with many targets in Iran.

Clever misuse of what I said, but is changes nothing.

Keep up the avoidance!

 

[Mycroft]

Israel doesn't want "non-stop warfare and loss of life". That's what their enemies want.

Israel just wants to live.

Nope, no one but Netanyahu supporters buy that. Everyone else sees a genocidal lunatic that will end up in the history books for all the wrong reasons.

There is. It's called the ballot box, but the people speak.

Bibi is the master of the ballot box. He is Israel's longest serving Prime Minister going back as 1996, on and off.

When he helped get the Prime Minister he was running against assassinated to get into office.
