Benjamin Netanyahu's Politics

Benjamin Netanyahu is currently the state's longest serving leader, and also its first to face criminal prosecution while in office. The economy has broadly speaking done well under BB, or at least during large parts of it - which is a big part of his popularity. Some of the lynch mobs that we're seeing now, it has a precedent in this. They will try to burn down mosques, burn down churches. There was the Dumma arson attack in 2015, where they burned a family alive. It's like a level of impunity, because they walk around with guns. That's... Nobody does anything.
