I detest Netanyahu, but on some things he’s actually right
People such as the Israeli leader and Donald Trump, who I generally regard as forces for ill in the world, turn out to be, at least on Iran, forces for good.
Like a lot of people of centre-right/centre-left political leanings, I’ve spent the past few decades detesting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, especially as he has grown increasingly authoritarian, bellicose and inhumane.
And yet those of us in the Bibi critics’ club do have to confront an uncomfortable fact: especially over the past 10 months, Netanyahu has impressively followed through on his aim to remake the face of the Middle East.
