    What’s the big issue with him? I still can’t see a problem with any country defending their territory.

    Here we go

    No, it was a genuine question as I haven’t paid any attention to the whole recent Palestine movement in the media or anything. I’ve deleted it now as I gather there’s only one side of this one is allowed to fall. Carry on, I’ll go back to happy oblivion.

    He's a horrible bastard who should be rotting in jail.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    Expect nothing to change ....

    Not in Israel or Palestine there little or no appatite to change anything inside Israel or elsewhere




  • An absolute tyrant. Good riddance.

    Will Bibi get behind Donald for his 2024 presidential bid?
    Thread on Trumps post presidential life is entertaining enough though.

    I don’t know that his successor will be any better or not measurably worse but this marks a big new chapter in Israel, and ultimately Palestine and the rest of the region. I don’t know what all will be in store for us.




    The hope is that the other coalition members will prevent the new guy running amok. It's hard to imagine an 8 party coalition being long lived though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,646 ✭✭✭✭Timberrrrrrrr


    Great to see the back of him, hopefully he rots in jail but I don't hold out too much h hope of that happening.

    Unfortunately for the Palestinian people it will probably be the same as before.

    Right-wing nationalist Naftali Bennett has been sworn in as prime minister, leading a "government of change".


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,761 ✭✭✭Dillonb3


    From what I read the new coalition government is composed of far right and left leaning parties. Surely that wont hold itself together


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,184 ✭✭✭85603


    this will surely bring well reasoned compromise to the region.

    off to the bookies to back a new era of peace. hurray.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,010 ✭✭✭kildare lad


    He instigated that last bloodbath on purpose because he knew his time was up and he hoped that would by him more time and support . He's a sick and twisted individual

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    On topic, Bibi has been leading Israel a very long time. Some new blood is needed, although it's not certain what that will mean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,597 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia

    It will mean he gets to have ‘the benefit of the doubt’ and is not held responsible for Bibis crimes while committing those same crimes himself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Naftali Bennett will lead a government that will include left-wing and centrist parties so anything is possible I suppose.
    It's unlikely he will back down on West Bank.
    We'll see I suppose.

    Well there won't be anything in store for Ireland. Israel's thousands of kilometres away.

    Is my reading of this right though?

    The new lad taking over is in a right wing party, and Benji is remaining leader of his right wing party and will be the opposition?

    Essentially, yep.

    No, thats the president of Israel. Isaac Herzog.

    Yep and the new coalition government has 60 seats while Netanyahu's opposition has 59 seats. Coalition consists of right wing, left wing and Arab party's

    Something like 13 parties won seats, so there's going to be quite a few left and right wing parties (and I'm not sure then how they classify the arabic parties within that)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,357 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Isn't this new dude Irish?

    No. The President Elect of Israel, Herzog, is the son of an Irish born and raised Jew, himself a former President of Israel.

    The President is much like Michael D Higgins is here, an Head of State with some constitutional functions.

    The new Prime Minister Bennett, was born and raised in Israel.

    Not really.

    Bibi's now installed in a cushy "opposition" knesset role.

    Still a lot better off than poor old Donald T.

    As much as I would love to see it I just can't believe it will happen.

    No way an (ex) American president will go to jail, they (the establishment) just wouldn't allow it.

    No.way Bibi goes to jail, if they won't convict soldiers of murder/war crimes then no way will they convict him.

    Bot Trump and Bibi have way too much information on too many people for them to be jailed and that's really the sad fact of the matter, they should both be tried and if guilty then convicted and sent to prison.

    A lot of hatered towards a media persona and some partial information in this thread.
    To set the record straight (I'm an Israeli living in Ireland), Bibi will remain head of the opposition until a Likud party election, so not for too long I guess assuming this coalition survives until than.

    The real winner is Yair Lapid, the next PM who came up with this government.

    Also, many conspiracy theories being floated here, I've never encountered an equivalent obsession with the affairs of any other country here and don't talk to me about human rights because Ireland needs to sort out its own act before it self promotes itself as the champions of human rights. Being on the gravy train in terms of UN tours (even the name suggests it).

    Better get the Irish government to focus on promoting what Ireland is known for In the middle East: tax breaks and relaxed regulation for rich Arab countries and an easy entry point into the EU.

    In the middle East, Ireland isn't really considered for anything else or thought of much, so it's a one way obsession.

    What specifically are you referring to here?

    I'm referring to the very generous financial benefits to individuals as well as Ireland in going on peace keeping tours, not really contributing in any other way. Just some part timers with guns that need rescue from the likes of Lebanon.
    If they ever find themselves in real conflict like in Lebanon all they can do is call for help (again) from the Israeli army as they can't even defend themselves.
    See first hit on Irish website:
    https://www.irishcentral.com/news/politics/israeli-defense-force-rescues-irish-troops-from-islamist-extremists

    They are perceived as a joke. Another example from an Irish mainstream paper:

    Can you tell me what human rights laws Ireland breaks? What human rights does Ireland ignore when it comes to...you know.....human rights?

    Have you been around since March 2020? Draconian laws passed without debate against it's own citizens. I'm all for keeping public health but this never happened. This is just pulling the breaks but not really doing anything more than short term.

    Also, travelers are treated like 2nd class citizens at the best of times
