Megan McArdle: ‘The problem is not Benjamin Netanyahu’

“I think this is a sideshow and I think it is a sideshow by design. The critique of Benjamin Netanyahu allows Democrats to feel like they are distancing themselves from Israeli policy and it gives them a convenient person to blame. What Benjamin Netanyahu is doing is wildly supported by all Israelis. The problem is not Benjamin Netanyahu. If you replaced him, policies that the Democratic base is upset about … wouldn’t change. The overwhelming consensus in Israel is that they will not stop this war until Hamas has been completely destroyed.” - Megan McArdle
