Their point is that Netanyahu was never the good guy, so it’s more of an asshole becoming even more of an asshole.
Wasn’t he just an “ordinary politician”, quite liked? Or at least okayish? Or so I remember. But maybe some people wasn’t even born at that moment.
People tend to forget, even Putin was seen like some cool strongman at that time. Turns out that being in power really brings out the bad stuff in people.
Netanyahu was marching out in (or sometimes leading) protests not so subtly calling for Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination in 1995. He was only an “ordinary politician” because at the time “ordinary poltiics” acceptable to westerners included the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and starvation of Gaza; his actions have been escalating as he gained more power and influence, but he himself has always been like this. People like this in general tend to have always been fascist peaces of shit willing to do anything to remain in power, but there’s groundwork to be done before they can go full mask-off. As for Putin, well that guy was dismantling democracy from day one, up to and including using what was likely a false flag operation to start the Second Chechen War. Not my first choice for a good or normal-ish guy corrupted by power.
