This is a global leader — the mayor wants to arrest him, and then he’s sitting down for a podcast at the same exact time. This is Netanyahu, not a leader like Kim Jong Un or Putin who seem so far away, so inaccessible as to be impossible for us to understand. Netanyahu sits down for podcasts with influencers, he speaks English with an Philly accent. He’s on TV, he visits the US all the time.

At the same time, though, he is deeply misunderstood. I do not think most people my age or most people in general truly know who or what Benjamin Netanyahu really is, perhaps because of how visible he is. Although I think if there were one person in the world today whose story matters more than anyone else, it is probably Benjamin Netanyahu. let’s get into it.

This is a very interesting biography. Being reminded about how he let Hamas seize power in Palestine by allowing funding and terrorist attacks remind me of a BBC panaroma about Israel's conspiracy with Hamas.

... how he let Hamas seize power in Palestine by allowing funding and terrorist attacks

this couple with my own life circumstances have been intriguing me lately; it's so fascinating how easily we can be manipulated and it makes me pity the people who refuse to accept that they've been manipulated, but it's understandable if they're benefiting from it -- i suspect that i would too.
