Thank you so much FREE PRESS for providing us access to all sides of the issue. Barri, after reading your book about antisemitism I now understand how this all works. Once the legacy and mainstream media refers to the legitimately elected government in Israel as "FAR right " or unhinged fascists it provides the conditions for the real antisemites to mainstream their Jew Hate. The rest follow. Jews in the diaspora need to pay very close attention and stop seeing Israel through your limited American lens.

I live in Israel and vote "right wing", and I can confirm this is indeed the most extreme hardline government in the country's history, one that won the parliamentary majority (legally, through the vagaries of the Israeli political system, there are no claims here of "stop the steal" or voter fraud), but crucially NOT the popular majority. Anytime you hear claims of "the will of the people" those are bald-faced lies.
