Analysis • Netanyahu's final pitch: Vote for war, ostracism, poverty and insanity | Esther Solomon haaretz.com/israel-news/elec…
Embattled PM Netanyahu's final pre-election messaging to Israelis resembles a multi-pronged suicide attack on his own country. His pitch: Vote Netanyahu for war, ostracism, poverty and insanity | My analysis in @haaretzcom

Netanyahu's election message, endorsed by Trump ('I guarantee more war but vote for me or you'll be annihilated') offers the opposition a clear upside: its gross demagoguery exhibits the PM's most damaging, repugnant faults to every wavering Israeli voter

Trump's endorsement of Netanyahu ahead of the elections was wrapped in a threat – if Israelis don't vote for Netanyahu, then the president would "not [be] inclined" to "finish the job" with Iran.
Not only has Netanyahu legitimized an unprecedented act of interference in Israel's internal affairs, but for the sake of that support, he has tethered Israel to an imminent, explicitly politically motivated, round of conflict with Iran.| @EstherSolomon haaretz.com/israel-news/elec…
From ‘fucking crazy’ to “Strong, Brave, and Brilliant’ in four months: Trump's belated blessing won't trigger a landslide of votes for Netanyahu, but it does legitimize a particularly dangerous, high-stakes dirty politics | Analysis in @haaretzcom haaretz.com/israel-news/elec…
For @BBCWorldatOne I helped explain why Israel’s elections, now only 9 days away, really do justify all the fateful/momentous/crucial superlatives - and what is actually at stake

Haaretz Today • Non-stick Netanyahu: Will surging scandals make a difference? | Esther Solomon haaretz.com/israel-news/haar…
‘Non-Stick Netanyahu’: Nothing bothers Bibi’s base. But how will the surge of scandals around the PM, especially about Oct 7, influence the small bloc of voters who will decide Israel’s election? Like ‘Teflon Tony’ Blair, will he be undone by war exposes?

The Israeli right's Great Replacement Plan for the Palestinians: make homes unlivable, life unbearable, death a constant presence. And if Palestinians don't embrace their 'humane' expulsion with joy and gratitude–there’s always the gun, the shell, the bomb
haaretz.com/israel-news/elec…
Ben-Gvir has long agitated to expel the Palestinians, dressed up as 'voluntary', even compassionate, emigration, as portrayed in a recent AI election video. But the violent settlers on '60 Minutes' stripped his doubletalk down to its naked, fascist form

"Some pessimists say: in 30 or 40 years, there'll be no Christians left in the Holy Land. I think this is far too pessimistic. Christian communities will remain, especially around the holy places. But numbers also matter, & today our numbers are very low'

من بين ضحايا مجزرة السابع من أكتوبر، 7 نشطاء في منظمة "الطريق إلى الشفاء" الذين كانوا يتطوعون في نقل المرضى من قطاع غزة إلى مستشفيات إسرائيلية. كلهم كانوا نشطاء سلام. الـ 7 من أكتوبر كانت حرفياً مذبحة لمعسكر السلام الإسرائيلي؛ إذ اجتاحت حماس عدداً كبيراً من الكيبوتسات التي أُسست من قبل أحزاب اليسار التاريخية.

.@EstherSolomon's sharp dispatch for @haaretzcom from NatCon Jerusalem exposes the movement's central contradiction: an alliance with ethnonationalists that legitimizes antisemitism, even as its Israeli champions embrace the same rhetoric haaretz.com/israel-news/isra…
