The world should stop obsessing over the latest election theater in Israel. That contest is largely predetermined and serves mainly as political theater. The election that actually matters is Netanyahu’s midterm election this November in the United States.
More countries today operate under the shadow of Netanyahu’s influence than most people care to admit. His real power does not stop at Israel’s borders. The November midterms in America will decide how much of that influence continues unchecked. The outcome will shape the prospects for genuine world peace and the long struggle to build a free world.
Unlike the managed spectacle in Israel, this American midterm will not be easy for him. Ordinary voters still hold the decisive power. Social-media well-wishers and mosad-appointed body double who make money by praising Netanyahu day and night care little about peace or freedom; they care about clicks and profit. Their noise should be ignored. The choice remains in the hands of ordinary Americans.
