A Paper Tiger

I write this as an Israeli citizen -- one who has never voted for Bibi Netanyahu.

        His two objectives unmet
          Bibi approves the ‘deal’ he gets
        from Trump, in an unconscionable rush
          to bully Israel into a peace made of mush

        For 15 months Bibi touted 'non-negotiable' goals 
          All hostages returned, and Hamas crushed
       This ‘deal’ achieves neither, though lauded in the West
          To Trump, Bibi caved, a paper tiger when pressed

       Past time for Israel to assert itself on the world stage
          Show itself and the world that it’s come of age
       Vote Bibi out, along with his feckless friends
           Elect someone brave, who neither breaks nor bends

You know best my friend. Start a rally in your choice to lead and implement it to succeed. This is the first initiative on your part to do so. Let's hope the people of Israel see it like you do and take action. Wishing strength, and peace, respect for Israel and protection always my friend...
