I've been watching and listening to a lot of responses from Israeli officials lately about the deaths of Palestinians. So...

Netanyahu saying there will be time to answer why he didn't do anything to stop that Oct 7th attack after the war has to be top of the list right now.

Netanyahu did an interview on the Lex Friedman podcast and the whole thing felt like he was dodging questions. His go-to move seems to be the "You're asking the wrong question. Instead of asking [thing 1], you should really be asking [thing 2]."...and then proceeds to answer his suggested question instead.

I've never really sought out much information about the Israel situation, and this was really my first impression of the guy and he just seemed so good at manipulating the conversation. It was impressive how apparent it was yet still somehow convincing.
