A tale of three ‘anybody but Bibi’ stooges
One the issues that puzzles those people abroad who consider Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu a great leader is what appears to be the widespread, deep-seated hatred for him at home. It’s a relevant question, given the fact that he’s the longest-serving premier in the history of the Jewish state—which means that he’s actually popular among voters.TV host Sharon Gal, who presents an eponymous daily show at 7 p.m. on i24News, set out last week to get to the bottom of the conundrum.

The article suggests these interviews illustrate that the strong animosity towards Netanyahu among some Israelis often lacks a coherent, articulated basis.
