A little late, Israeli journalism is fucked, their whole society has been ruled by their right wings eclusively for 25 years, whatever passed for “the left” there collapsed around 9/11. You should hear the kind of bullshit their media talks about. Telling them that Biden stole the election, that the current president was the good guy, that they and the president both were the victims, put upon on all sides by shadowy all powerful forces, george soros-ey ones.
Biden was such a cunt, but that’s neither here nor there, Israeli media is already in league with their far right factions, and their far right factions are in positions to assassinate any of their own people that try to change course, and I suspect they do.
@hector Thanks for the insight. I didn’t realize it was quite that bad.
