    They are casting Netanyahu’s supposed fears as legitimate. It would be OK if they said that Netanyahu thinks this and that. It is quite a different thing to cast what that deranged criminal thinks as an obvious truth.

    I repeat: if they had written “Netanyahu believes that there is a danger of Israel being annihilated and therefore draws a parallel with the Bar-Kochba uprising”, that would have been perfectly fine. What they wrote instead was “Israel is in danger of being annihilated. That’s why Netanyahu draws the parallel”. That is abso-fucking-lutely defending Netanyahu’s ends, even if they say they disagree with his means.

      What I wrote was: „Hamas would destroy Israel if they could.“ I‘am absolutely certain they don’t have the military power to do so.
