If you think I came on a bit strong in the title, you are right. I want to be clear upfront about my feelings towards this horrible little man. I have never seen a more clear cut case for both or either of the terms "sociopath" and "psycopath"
The warmongering ways of this man go back as long as I can remember but I'm going to start when he first came blustering onto the international stage with this whopper (see clownish short clip below) told with such theatrical gusto that we can only look back and cringe now that we know that he was straight up lying about the WMDs in Iraq in 2002. And he isn't even good at it. His fake sincerety could be bettered by a pond full of wet leather. That particular lie resulted in the death of at least one million people and destabilized the entire Middle East when terrorism swept through the Levant. In a long line of deliberate fails, also known as lies, he is on record as saying "If you take out Sadams regime, I guarentee you, it will have enourmous positive reverberations around the region" of course it resulted in ISIS instead.
This theme would continue throughout his career, never calling for diplomacy, instead insulting his neighbours to the point where they won't even meet with him half the time because be is calling for war against them before they even meet. His (always false) accusations are characterized by calls for war, or even actual unprovoked strikes, on most of his neighbours. The "self defense" claim that Trump used in the set up and ambush of Iranian general Soleimani reminded me very much of the type of "self defence" Bibi invokes when raining hellfire on Palestinian suburbs as collective punishment for infringements cited as the handywork of bogeyman Hamas, the pretext provider for the Israeli armed forces. Or the more than 100 strikes on Syrian sovereign territory while Syria was battling the Western backed Islamist terrorists, oops sorry I mean rebels....
Here is is the best of Bibi's lies about WMD's in both Iran and Iraq over the course of thirty years, along with his calls for war, mayhem and bloodshed.
Ironically it is Israel that is lying about nuclear weapons, refusing to allow inspectors in to inspect them in their usual arroganct way in what has become a typical substitute for diplomacy in Israel: The toddler tantrum. Israeli lies about WMDs or "imminent attack" as defined by the Bethlehem Doctine (Loosely explained it means just lie and say imminent attack if you want to attack any entity). Lies are regarded as just another tactic or strategy in Israeli foreign relations. All nations lie. Israel is stupid enough to make it official policy, but americans are lazy enough to never bother checking, so Israel can get away with anything the way it seems from where I'm standing.
Case in point, during the six days war in 1967, Israel bombed the entire Egyptian airforce ON THE GROUND preemptively using the Bethlehem Doctrine, annexed the Golan Heights illegally from Syria, and then proceeded to spend two full hours trying to sink the American naval vessel the USS Liberty to blame Egypt and lure its protector into war for her. Ladies and gentlemen, don't utter a word of condemnation, after all Israel has a right to protect herself.
Remembering the USS Liberty.

You would almost think she wants to destroy her neighbors carrying on like that, and you would be right. The overarching guiding principle behind Israeli discourse has been Ben Gurions Greater Israel project: https://www.richardsilverstein.com/2016/09/01/ben-gurions-plan-regional-conquest/
I think that sums things up nicely. They have the Golan Heights, they need the rest of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran next and their Kurdistan project will be the "Little Israel" before the greater Israel takes place, but thats a story for another day.
By the way if those countries sounded famiar to you, they are...
There you have it, you now have a major insight into the seemingly chaotic foreign policy in the Midddle East and I would argue its almost as important as oil and Petrodollar economics, perhaps even more so.
The good news is that its failing. Bibi's days are numbered with corruption charges looming like a guillotine over his head, and the United States has failed in their bid for 7 countries in 5 years thanks to Vladimir Putin and the valiant efforts of Bashar Al Assad and the Syrian people. Lebanon and Hezbollah deserve credit for spanking Israel in Lebanon with Irans backing the key to their success. The Palestinians deserve untold praise because they are on the front lines of a slow - motion genocide.
Now ask yourself, why do you think these parties are all so unpopular???
