I wonder how much of it is because Netanyahu knows that the day there is not active conflict that Israel is involved in, is the day he’s screwed.

I think it`s just their security calculations myself. Netanyahu isn’t a dictator after all, so doesnt really run the show all by himself.
The thing is, their security calculations doesn’t seem to always take wider sociopolitical and geopolitical considerations into account (or it does, but not, in my opinion, well). It’s all so short term, wider strategic goal should surely be regional detente so the state of Israel can be more safe. But usually, they go with the “Thug Strategy” since they are convinced that “Arabs only understand strenght”.
The Thug Strategy works, but does not contribute to better relations with their neighbours, creates generational hate and irredentist-feelings and thoughts in the minds of their neighbours (and also political segments of the West) and often works counter productive when it comes to how Israel is seen also in the West (i.e. loss of legitimacy). But they have a had a “Bunker Mentality” for decades now really.

The ones in solitary confinement are still there, they are trying to dig them out.
I don’t know if they have water down there in the dungeon.

Yes, of course, in much of the world we pride ourselves in not having dictators; but Erdogan fails to see the irony.

And what’s it going to change?
Everyone knows that this current Israeli regime is a bunch of genocidal, racist cunts.
But until America withdraws its support for the Israeli government, nothing is going to change. And that simply ain’t gonna happen.

Very painful images of the release of Bashar Assad’s prisoners: After years of imprisonment, the first thing you see after release is the grave of your children

This. Events I report about, they only mention 3-4 days later. Sometimes a week, and they explain very little and much too briefly. It is painful, because like Mihnea says, MSM bashing is usually for stupid ideological reasons. But there is a failure to report on massive events of incredible importance, so the normal non-informed man in the street gets the impression that tgis event, that is almost never instant in reality, is something that comes out of the blue. And that is bad, because it feeds and breeds conspiracy theories. It is an actual problem…
