Dude, this clearly isn’t gonna be the fifteenth time that is the charm. Just deliver him to the fucking ICC in a rubber sack and install someone else that’s easier to deal with. You said your support for Israel is ironclad. Well, right now that means getting rid of Likud. You can have some covert agency do it, and just tell the voters you’re as shocked as anybody about what happened but you support the new president-elect and their roadmap for peace. Literally everybody wins.

You sit atop the world’s most powerful military, economic, and (for certain definitions) intelligence apparatus. Y’all can do this stuff no problem when we need to buy oil or papayas or whatever for cheap, but all of a sudden when killing Arabs is the issue at stake it’s all “oh boo boo we could never fuck up another country’s machinery of government, that would be ever so crude”

(I am joking, clearly, about how easy it would be, but not about the broad strokes of the absurdity of claiming America is helpless in this and we just have to keep asking and getting chumped for it, over and over and over.)
