Tens of Thousands Israelis Continue to Protest in Israel Against Netanyahu as Country Descends into Chaos and is on Brink of Civil War
Tens of thousands of Israelis continued to protest against Netanyahu in Israel today, with the country descending into chaos and standing on the brink of civil war. Netanyahu is trying to dismantle the government and all opposition against him, as he desperately tries to hang on to power over the fallout of "Qatar-Gate", which revealed that Netanyahu (as well as the U.S.) has been funding Hamas since before Oct. 7, 2023. Netanyahu fired the head of Shin Bet, the Israeli agency that parallels the U.S. FBI, as protests and riots broke out across Israel. The Israeli High Court of Justice has issued a temporary restraining order from carrying out the removal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, as investigations into Netanyahu's corruption continue. This story is barely being mentioned in the U.S. Press, but it is headline news in Israel, and has been for several days. Opposition leaders in Israel are now calling for a general strike, a tax revolt, and the overthrow of Netanyahu's government. Those who once supported Netanyahu are now turning against him, and even questioning his sanity. In Jerusalem today, the U.S. Embassy issued a security alert due to Houthi missile fire and the ongoing protests. If Netanyahu's government is overthrown, how will that affect Trump's plans to purchase Gaza, and build a 3rd temple in Jerusalem? If Netanyahu prevails, and defeats his political opponents even as 70% of the Israeli public now opposes him, what will happen next, especially here in the U.S.? All the answers to these questions are now unfolding before us in real time, although the U.S. media is largely fixated on domestic political issues right now, like Tesla cars, and I wonder how many Americans are even aware of what is currently happening in Israel?
