Bibi was able to bring himself to fire Galant because he completely secured his legitimacy and status both domestically and abroad. If the murder of the 6 hostages was his low point, he is now at the peak of his influence, and he can fully thank Biden's rubber stamp policy. 1/9
The US let the hostages (among them american citizens) die by refusing to put any sort of pressure on Netanyahu, even when Gantz stopped being a fig leaf in the cabinet and Netanyahu was left with his extremists. 2/9

Tomorrow, on the opening day of the school year, I, along with over 200 other Israeli teenagers will present our letter declaring that we will not serve in the IDF as long as the government continues to enact a dictatorship, within or beyond the green line. 1/5
The board of the school which was supposed to host our event, just announced a cancellation of our plans, due to threats of cutting funding and recognition from the Ministry of Education and pressure from far right groups, who planned to organize a protest against us. 2/5
