Bezalel Smotrich, an unindicted war criminal, is the Josef Goebbels equivalent of the Likud Cabinet. In 2024, PM Benjamin Netanyahu (an MIT graduate) skillfully used the hostage situation to continue military operations to depopulate the Palestinian population in Gaza and the West Bank, keep his corruption trial in abeyance, and tilt the US 2024 election towards Dotard Trumpf by alienating the antiwar segment of the Democratic Party (~6,265,888 voters).
