    Netanyahu was not the start and he won’t be the end of Israel’s deplorable treatment of Palestinians.

    The end of his government will be the same as the last 80 years.

    There is no magical blaming one person, this is a systemic and societal issue for all of Israel.

      It is indeed a systemic issue, but his government is the strongest player in making sure this system is strenghtened rather than weakened.

      In addition to all the bad stuff, there has also been more and more people pushing to make things better: Reduce laws and influence from religious fundamentalists, return land claimed by settlers and spread an understanding that they are doing evil, peace and trade with neighboring countries, etc.

      And he is afraid of them. That is why he is trying to move to what is practically a dictatorship and go into perpetual war.

      With the current government gone, there is at least hope that the non-fundamentalist politics can take the wheel.

      I’m stretching the word “hope” to near breaking point here, I know. It would go from “impossible” to merely “impossibly hard with decades of hard concessions” to fix things.
