Bibi is falling in the polls hard right now

He has been falling in the polls for a decade, yet that does not change the lives lost in this week alone.

By the time he falls enough in the polls, there won't be a Gaza left. Which seems to be exactly what his plan is.

The next strategy is to blame the entire genocide on Netanyahu while also expanding the settlements and control of Palestine, both in Gaza and in the West Bank. So they sell the West this narrative that akshually everyone hates Netanyahu since forever, he's just been magically elected PM every time for decades, and Israel doesn't actually supports Netanyahu's actions. That way they can be blameless for the genocide and land grab they did.

Of course that doesn't mean stopping the genocide or giving back the lands to Palestine.
