Netanyahu is unfit to serve - he must resign now

10- No prime minister in Israel's history has alienated the US-the country's closest and irreplaceable ally-than Netanyahu. US military support, political cover, and financial aid to Israel since its inception have surpassed any other country. Successive American administrations have stood by Israel through thick and thin and never wavered in their commitment to its national security. And while Israel at present needs the US more than ever before, Netanyahu has once again shown how shameless he is. Whereas he went down on his knees begging for more bombs and explosives and political cover, he defied the Biden administration at every turn.

Indeed, no Israeli prime minister has shown more chutzpah (shameless audacity) than Netanyahu. Last March, he stated that "Israel is a sovereign country which makes its decisions by the will of its people and not based on pressures from abroad, including from the best of friends." Netanyahu's constant rebuffing of President Biden regarding the desperate need for food and medicine for the starving and sick Palestinians in Gaza illustrates how dispassionate and cruel, and how ungrateful and foolish he is. For that alone, anyone else in his stead would have resigned, but not Netanyahu.

Israel's founders must now be turning in their graves as Netanyahu is now writing and directing Israel's darkest chapter. Under his watch, today's Israel is facing a fateful crossroad: how the Gaza war ends and what follows will determine Israel's future. The country will become either what was destined to be a "light onto other nations" or an apartheid state, a pariah, and an occupying power that lives by the sword.

The Israeli public must continue to pour into the streets by the hundreds of thousands, demanding new elections within a few weeks. They must spare no legitimate means, including civil disobedience and continuing labor strikes, to force Netanyahu out of power and save the country.

Each day Netanyahu remains in power, he poses a greater danger to Israel than its worst enemy.
