Netanyahu is the villain of the piece in this journalist's mind.
Too predictable.

No, more accurately, they have been trying to wipe out Israel for DECADES, LONG before Netayahu was head of Israel.

You should familiarize yourself with it.
Post reporter Glen Frankel won awards from Arab-American groups for his “balanced” reporting on Israel.
That was decades ago.
Glen Frankel was the first to push the “Apartheid” crap against Israel.
Nora Boustany pushed how dastardly mean Israel was to Lebanon at the very time Syria was occupying all of Lebanon.
The Post was a major pusher of Arafat and the lovely PLO.
