Pretty much everyone outside of Israel seems to dislike the man, except US Republicans (who are wrong as usual, if you ask me). But he's pretty successful at getting himself reelected. Does he have any redeeming qualities? I confess I know next to nothing of his domestic policies
US republicans and religious Zionists are basically his only fans abroad. I know nothing of his economic policies but lets face it, everything is kind of secondary to how he deals with the conflict. Whats worse is that his potential successor, Naftali Bennett is actually worse, saying that under his watch a Palestinian nation will never happen, and how they will basically be always under occupation.

The country is pretty split I think. The ones who like him are also the ones who are more nationalistic anyways and they have those notions about Palestinians even without a tough guy" leading the country.
