(As Rethuglicans double down on fascism by protecting Hegseth, the Zionists in Israel double down racism and pure unadulterated hatred as Bibi Netanyahu tries to demonize Muslim Israelis even more. It's all these fascist Nazis have in the end.)

Caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday delivered a furious address to the newly sworn-in Knesset, demanding a national unity government and warning his rivals against setting up a “narrow” government backed by either or both of the Arab parties, whose members he accused of seeking Israel’s destruction and supporting terrorism.

The only way to remove this existential threat permanently is by toppling the regime of the ayatollahs,” Netanyahu declared. He then listed achievements in the wars since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre, claiming, “We changed the face of the Middle East.”...
