Ultra-Orthodox parties accuse Netanyahu of failing to deliver on his promise to pass a law that would permanently exempt young men from their community studying in yeshivas, or religious seminaries, from compulsory military service.

Bibi hasn't had the votes for years, that's why he keeps cancelling elections.

The far right are the ones pushing for genocide, because they don't have to fight and they're usually the "settlers" stealing land.

They want their exception permanent because there was talk of it going away

But Bibi can't win an election with them, he def can't without them. If they're dumb enough to actually call an election and it happens ...

That's the end of Bibi, as soon as he's out of office his corruption trial starts and he is obviously and blatantly guilty.

This is the clearest path to ending the Iran war too, without Bibi wars can actually end again.

I sometimes get the feeling Israeli politics are pretty fucked up. A bit like in America, but with ten parties instead of two.

It's worse...

Imagine Jan 6th worked and trump just kept office ignoring elections...

That's essentially what Bibi has been doing for four years, he keeps cancelling elections due to "wars" he keeps starting. Because his coalition has zero chance of winning an election again, and the second he's out of office, his corruption trial starts.

The biggest Israel propaganda push has been that Israel is a unified front and everyone is behind Bibi, they've been having some of their largest protests ever to get rid of him

Like, America has "liberated" countries for a lot less...

Bibi is (and has been) a straight up dictator and the majority of Israelis don't want it. They're a lot worse off than even America.
