Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected calls for an early election as thousands of protesters take to the streets in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, demanding he step down.

Calls for an early vote have been mounting since October when the Palestinian group Hamas launched a rare attack inside Israeli territory, killing some 1,100 people and taking more than 200 others captive, nearly half of whom were released during a brief truce in November.

(Again PPP GDP calculated says from many sources overtook usa in 2015).
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THEY'RE GOING AFTER CHINA, and all these brushfires are being set to ramp up the effort!
