“Obviously massacring unarmed men, women, and children at a Hanukkah celebration is antisemitic terror,” Nathaniel added in a separate thread. “Just like massacring unarmed men, women, and children in Gaza and the West Bank is anti-Palestinian terror. There are no moral exceptions regarding the slaughter of civilians.”

Electronic Intifada director Ali Abunimah said, “Basically Netanyahu is saying that Australia got what it had coming for not supporting his genocide in Gaza even more than it already does.”

Oh, he knows. To some extent.

I don’t think Netanyahu is a “true fundamentalist” like the far right part of the government. He’s Machiavellian, a suvivalist. Perhaps it’s all some means to an end, but I think Israel’s international toxicity is very much factored into his political calculus.

I don’t mean to question his faith, and I hate to sound cynical, but he’s got a looong trail of political decisions that sure speak to that.
