ITT: Americans who don't know how parliaments work, saying "durr you voted him in"

The people who voted for Bibi obviously wanted him to be PM, and the people who voted for the other extremist parties knew they would help appoint Bibi, as they've always done. Therefore, the Israeli people did vote him in. However, just because a politician has a democratic majority does not mean that 100% of the electorate supports him. The right to protest is so important so that minority voices can be heard.

You hid your wrong conclusion in a corridor of things I largely agree with, so let me fix that for you: Just because people voted for Ben Gvir, Netanyahu, Smotrich and Deri, does not mean that the people of Israel as a whole, including people who voted for parties that are in the current coalition, voted for Netanyahu- directly or indirectly. You can spout that blanket opinion at the Israeli people as much as you like, it does not make it true. Because that's all it is- an opinion.
An opinion usually made by people with a severe lack of understanding in Israeli politics.
