Soon after this writing Israel's new, hodgepodge government will be sworn in and Naftali Bennett will become Prime Minister. It's a center right government + Labour, Meretz and the Arab Ra'am party that has one goal, oust Bibi. That's it. That's all they care about. How long they can hang together is anyone's guess. A year? If they manage a few religious reform laws, blog will consider the Bennett government a success.
Right now Bibi may be loathed but time will pass. 'Don't worry about being a great man, just be a man and let history judge,' said Zephram Cochrane. We used to hate Bill Clinton but now we're kinda OK about him. We voted against Bush the Elder in 1992 but now we think he was a solid president. And W, well, let's just say our views are evolving. When we were a kid Ike was considered old and bland, now he's a national hero. Nixon? He's a victim of the Deep State.
In the long run Bibi's legacy will be a strong economic growth, successful military developments and the Abraham Accords. People will point to his handling of the Fauci Flu. Just wait till we learn the full story of ops against Iran. Israel is better off for Netanyahu having been PM. Now go away, Bibi.
Segway.....
Given how well this year's 'summer sneak in' has begun, we admit the possibility that next summer we could do a third Israel Strikes novel. Or we might try a different techno-thriller. Remember that idea for a US-Iran War, action in the Gulf, Marines landing in Lebanon, Airborne in Beirut, Hezbollah terror in the US. Dayum, right?
[Is that your good idea for the week of 6/13/21? You are such a goddam tease-Ed]
No, this is, World War 1990: Denmark.
[Ah jeeeeez, Edith!-Ed]
Don't worry, we're not going to do it. Denmark would basically be Nederland on the Baltic. The interesting stuff can probably be relayed in The Weser via dialogue; airborne and marine landings around Copenhagen, that sort of thing. So that's how we'll handle the idea.
