John Kiriakou

He's very unpopular.

It's just that he's the least unpopular of the unpopular politicians.

And it's a crazy way to run a country.

One of the things that the Greeks did, because the Greeks had the same problem.

There are just too many parties, right?

So you win 20% and you become the prime minister.

20%, nobody wants you.

So what they did is they raised the threshold

To which you have to meet to win election to the parliament from 3% to 5%.

So that narrows it down to like six or seven parties.

But then the party that comes in first, first past the poll, gets an extra 50 seats.

Then you don't have to go into any coalition governments with anybody.

And you can run the country for four years or five years, whatever it happens to be.

That's what the Israelis need to do.

But Netanyahu, longest serving prime minister in Israeli history, wildly unpopular.

And it's funny because he used to be considered a right wing extremist.

And now he's the moderate of the government.

The likes of Itamar Ben-Gavir and Smotrich and these other guys who have come in from the right, they were attacking him to the point where he had to bring their parties into this coalition government just to get him to shut up.

I mean, these are people that have felony convictions for anti-Arab hate crimes.

And now they're, you know, minister of national security, minister of finance with responsibility for the West Bank.
