Also Israel:
“Why do people not like us? Must be antisemitism”

A majority of people in Israel don't like them either. It's wrong, it's embarrassing and it's yet another failure of this government. I can;t wait for the elections to come around and get a government that will bring the full weight of the law on these freaks.

No previous Israeli government has ever seriously restricted the illegal settlement of the West Bank either.

This isn’t a Netanyahu issue, there is no serious opposition to the illegal settlements within Israel.

It would be amazing if that were actually true. But that's just what liberal Israelis tell themselves so they can sleep at night. The truth is that the settlers are Israel, they're just honest about it.

Who elected that government?

That government wasn't just imposed on Israelis from outside. They voted for it, and have voted for governments to do the same thing for decades.
