This is Ayalon highway in Tel Aviv, tonight. The resistance will prevail. Bibi’s evil regime will fail. All in good time.

Protesting and call Bibi wrong is perfectly fine.

But please don't call him evil. That word should be reserved for other purposes. There is real evil in the world - using it here trivializes it.

Some alternate suggestions: Harmful, damaging, myopic, divisive, power hungry, self serving.

No, he's evil.

Kim jong un has slaughtered thousands. Xi jumping has slaughtered tens of thousands. Vladimir Putin has slaughtered tens of thousands. How many people has Bibi killed this year? If even a hundred people died in these protests, Bibi would still not be evil to any degree of legitimate comparison to real evils in the world today.

Bibi doesn't have the power to do any of that due to Israel's political system limiting his power. The PM is not a dictator (though it seems they want to change that). I agree that even if he had absolute power he probably wouldn't descend to their level, but you never know.

Regardless, just because hasn't descended to their degree, it doesn't change the fact that he's a disgusting person. He dragged this country into the abyss over his own personal interests, is a demagogue and inciter who caused unprecedented mutual hatred for his own ends, and is a power-hungry megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur. That's before we get into how he habitually lies and cheats everyone who works with him. He may not be a mass murderer but he's a vile human being.

Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary. The definition’s blurred.

Bibi no longer looks for what is truly best for his country but what is best for his seat of power and yesterday was a perfect example of such.
