    Oh. Now it plummets.

    Not when he… you know… openly advocated funding terrorists so as to sabotage peace talks.

    Or when he… tried to weaken the judicial branch to strengthen his own political power and keep them from being … an asshole.

      There were mass protests with his judicial bs, to be fair. I guess now the right wing people are mad with him too?

        Yup. There were.

        There’s a lot of signs even before for that, too. Guess I’m being snarky at clickbaity headlines,

      This might seem like splitting hairs but he didn’t openly advocate propping up Hamas to weaken the PA and discredit the idea of a Palestinian state. He’s reported to have said that specifically during a private party meeting. To anyone who’s paid attention to his revolting policies, I don’t think it was surprising to learn but he’s never publicly said anything like that. It’s not like he campaigned on it.
