In reply to the discussion: Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau confirms Israeli prime minister [View all]Beastly Boy
(11,249 posts)43. I am talking about this thread.
Not a single poster here, other than yourself, suggested that they specifically focused on Netanyahu because he is the first head of state to be subject to arrest, or that this is unprecedented (something that would be the most legitimate reason to bring up for discussion in this context). Not even a mention that he is the PM. Not even a show of particular interest to the content of the OP. There are more speculations about which countries pledged to arrest him (to the exclusion of all other subjects of the same arrest warrant) than any other point of interest.
Certainly, there are not that many people here interested in the precedent being set.

You are the second one in this long thread, next to the poster you replied to who mentioned anyone other than Netanyahu.

There are many patriotic Jews and Arabs in the State of Israel who hate his guts.

None of them condemned Israel, or Israelis, or Zionists, or Israeli leftists.
