Bibi and Trump fail upward; pose enduring threat to Israel [View all]



Opinion | Netanyahu and Trump Still Pose an Enduring Threat to Israel and America
Israel's Netanyahu and America's Trump, narcissistic, ethno-nationalist, would-be kings, continue to fail upward despite their toxic legacies. And that sends an important message about our times

The problem with narcissistic, anti-democratic, ethno-nationalist, arsonist would-be kings is that the will of the people is not a very big deal for them. Neither, apparently, is the rule of law or historical precedent.

Sadly, the acute awareness of this fact is yet another bond shared by the people of Israel and the people of the United States.
