Netanyahu increased the number of seats that his party held in the last election. However, he did it at the expense of other right-wing parties. As a result, the pool of potential coalition parties decreased. The situation was further aggravated when Avigdor Lieberman said his party wouldn't join a coalition. As a result, Netanyahu was only able to form a coalition with the minimum number of votes necessary, basically giving the extremists a blank check in exchange for their support. The extremists took advantage and the result is a government that is unbelievable:

Defense Minister: Moshe Yaalon -- recently said, "we are going to hurt Lebanese civilians to include kids of the family. We went through a very long deep discussion … we did it then, we did it in [the] Gaza Strip, we are going to do it in any round of hostilities in the future." He also suggested that Israel would use a nuclear bomb against Iran.

Deputy Defense Minister: Eli Ben-Dahan -- said in a published interview that the "souls of all Jews are higher than those of Christians or Muslims or anybody else"

He also said about Palestinians: "For me they are brutes, they are not human". His current position gives him responsibility over the West Bank and the Palestinians who live there.

Justice Minister: Ayelet Shaked -- Has euphemistically called for genocide against the Palestinians and more explicitly called for killing Palestinian mothers so that they cannot give birth to children.

I notice you left out Hamas leaders aweful and hateful statements about Jews, Israel, the U.S., etc. but you don't want to publicize that part of the story do you.

I apologize. I hadn't realized that Hamas was part of the Israeli government. If/when I get around to a thread about the Palestinian government, I'll make sure that I mention Israeli leaders as well.

I have noticed in this thread that the pro-Israel folks have trouble staying on topic. They just want to come into this thread and take it over. I guess that sort of thing has become a habit for them.

But that's the point, you don't ever "get around" to a thread about the Palestinian government. You just start thread after thread about Israel and Netanyahu. It's your soapbox of course.
