Netanyahu is very weak but who’d be better? Even “hawkish” Ariel Sharon – as the media had referred to him – as PM was a complete failure who ended up expelling Jews to appease the Arabs.
We must conclude that לב מלכים ושרים ביד ה and Hashem does not want to bestow power on those who misuse their power against Hashem and against religious Jews.
Right on Aryeh .
