Netanyahu is Israel’s Richard Nixon — every time you think his political career is over, he always comes back.
Cool to see that you included the NEFAC analysis, Mobius. Though I’ve had many quibbles with their analysis, I find them to be deeply principled and thoughtful. Their magazine, the Northeast anarchist, is much more analytical and much less cheerleading/propaganda than one finds in many elft publications. And perhaps because of their antifascism, they tend to be far more careful not to slip into anti-Semitic lines of anlysis than some groups. Always worth a read, even when one disagrees with them.
