They say politics is show business for ugly people

And Im sure thats not just referring to their visual features.
It's ugly, they're ugly - but someone's gotta do it.
I hate to say I told you so, but while myself, Moshe and maybe one or two others have been raising the alarm bells at Israel's policies - it certainly seems this week we've been vindicated. It's clear that Israel is being run by the far right which is on a collision course, not just with the more morally virtuous among us, but also with the west...
Israel seems to operate out of an idiosyncratic bubble with little awareness of how others perceive the same (obvious) situations.
