      “Bad PR” doesn’t even begin to cover it. Netanyahu never misses an opportunity to claim he represents all Jews, so of course when his government commits atrocities, a lot a gullible people are gonna blame Jews in general. It’s so predictable I strongly suspect it’s one of his goals, because there’s nothing better for a far-right populist’s political career than convincing his supporters they’re under attack, and it’s especially easy when they actually are under attack. All he had to do was paint a target on every Jew in the world, which is clearly a small price in his mind.

      I hope one day he’s remembered alongside Putin as one of the worst villains of the 21st century.
