They sure took the lead of the demoncrats when it came to lawfare to depose a leader they hate, no? Do we call it BDS (Bibi derangement) or NDS? It appears to be the same psychopathology.

There is an additional unique dynamic in a proportional representation system where there are no term limits on the PM.
In 1996, Bibi first became PM at 46. In a US-like 8-year term limit situation, every Likud member age 35-60 could think of themselves as being the next Likud leader and hope to be anointed such by Bibi. Or the one one or two after that.
But that 1996 35-year old is now 66 and his time has long passed. So what has happened over the last 20 years or so is that several self-perceived “next” or “next next” guy or gal realize that their time might pass and bails on Likud to set up their own party (easy to do in a proportional representation situation).
But, to get votes they can’t tell the truth (that they are largely doing it out of self-interest/vanity). So they have to find a way to attack Netanyahu. And they get in bed with the left. And they have to use cognitive dissonance to reconcile the inherent conflicts. Thus it becomes a derangement syndrome.

Israel also resembles (maybe leads the US) in being a judicial supremacy (tyranny) country. Their supreme court does as it damn well pleases. Our liberal judges do the same. All the nationwide injunctions and blocking of Trump policies show they’re not even pretending anymore.

Judicial Review in Israel is relatively new, I think it started in the mid to late 90s, Bibi was first elected PM in 1996, timeline fits

Wow. This new release from Chuck Grassley on the Clinton Foundation is a staggering 91 page treasure trove. I just skimmed it, and it is all there, Uranium One, Russia, Boeing, Haiti, Hillary’s brother, and all the other stuff. And the FBI did not even open a full investigation,… https://t.co/S6q3YEoTn5 pic.twitter.com/mSR3HsIuBg

Remember the Democrat motto – Guilty as Hell, Free as Birds! Anyone care to guess at the probability of any Political Class insider suffering any consequences from being caught red-handed?

Oh, you made me laugh.
Sure, I’ll guess. No consequences.
How’d I do?

Ho hum! If we had to chose whether the UN or OPEC had been more useless in the last decade – we probably could not do it.
Seems like the UAE (really, Abu Dhabi) chose this moment to announce it is walking away from OPEC in order to put more pressure on Iran – probably because Iran has been bombing them and damaging their commerce & tourism. The UAE will increase oil production – more competition for a weakened Iran.

Maybe the whole lithium-from-China crisis is a nothingburger.
🚨 @USGS has found that the Appalachian region of the U.S. contains enough lithium to replace 328 YEARS of imports!

The issue about minerals is rarely their distribution across the planet, which is usually quite wide. The issue is the willingness to mine the raw ore, process it to extract the often relatively small amounts of the targeted metal, and deal with the large volume of tailings.
Tough to do that in some places where the Political Class’s objective is to create jobs for lawyers and protect previously unknown “endangered” species. Some other places have a more realistic balanced view.

Even the political class will respond to complaints that their wives can’t have a new phone to watch the latest TikTok videos. It’s amazing how they can turn on a dime when problems hit home. So, no, I don’t think there will be a problem mining lithium in Appalachia if it comes down to it. Furthermore, electric vehicles are ‘green’, so it would be spy vs. spy.
