As I've written, Netanyahu is not accountable to the Israeli majority. On core issue after core issue, he has governed for the radical 30%, which is why most Israelis want him gone:

Why 70 Percent of Israelis Want Netanyahu to Resign

The Israeli prime minister ignores the views of the majority of his people.

Im not doing much shopping/autos etc this year. Mainly networking.

Partly because I go on vacation that Sunday and I want some money left before payday hits XD

Daniel Kalban @dkalban.bsky.social · 5d

So, NYCC is in less than a week!

I'm excited! Are you?

I'll be wandering around the Javits on Thursday and Friday ONLY (No Tables! No Masters!). I will be mainly attempting to network and catch up with people. I will be glad to see any of you guys at the con!

Thought up a really cool villain for American Dreams Vol 3, which involves reconfiguring my entire idea of what I was thinking of doing, but this might just be a better tale.

You already posted mine, but I'll repost lol
