Demagogues take full advantage. Maliciously they spread fear to attract adherents. They're mindless that their best interests are harmed. They're betrayed. They're sold out without their knowledge.
Media scoundrels don't explain. They support what demands condemnation. Haaretz is a notable exception. At times, it tries having it both ways.
Recent articles, commentaries and editorials expressed concern about Netanyahu. Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was quoted. He accused Netanyahu of wasting billions of dollars on "adventurous fantasies" and "military delusions."
