  1. Racist government and racist people. How many of them got killed during the protest. If the palestinians protested like that in the same country they would have used bombs on their heads. Israel doesn't have a democracy because it doesn't give everyone a chance to run it,that lives in Israel. No palestinians can be in their government which is racist. You bomb palestinian kids but if it was their kids in the building they wouldn't have just bombed the building they would have went in and saved them.

  2. JAMES BAMFORD: Well, exactly. The documents I got are from the FBI. There are the FBI affidavit about this. There’s documents, numerous quotes from the secret agent, the Israeli secret agent sent by Netanyahu, talking about the “PM,” which the FBI agent indicates was the prime minister, and lays out a months-long plot, basically, from May of 2016 ’til the fall of 2016, right up to the election.

    This was investigated by the Mueller team. It was the Mueller team, the Mueller FBI agents who actually got a search warrant for the secret agent’s communications. And that’s what these documents are. These are the basis of that investigation from the FBI and the Mueller team. But all this was redacted from the final Mueller report. All they focused on was Russia, and in the end, they basically gave Russia a bill of health. They said that there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.

    They left out a little bit from the report, and that’s that there was collusion, but it was from Netanyahu and Israel to the Trump campaign, and it went on for months and months and involved providing the Trump campaign with secret access to the information that the Russians were picking up from Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC. In other words, the Israelis, they have a very, very sophisticated eavesdropping organization, Unit 8200. It’s their equivalent of the NSA. And they were eavesdropping on the Russians and eavesdropping on WikiGate, and they were — and Julian Assange. And they were picking up all this information that the Russians were getting from the Clinton campaign and the DNC. And rather than giving it to the president of United States, to Obama, which is what an ally is supposed to do, especially one that gets $4 billion a year, they instead were giving it to the Trump campaign, secretly giving it to the Trump campaign, in order to get concessions from Trump when he became president, and hopefully they were going to help make him president.

  3. Israeli-made Pegasus spyware had been sold by the cyber intelligence company NSO Group Technologies to governments and used against at least 50,000 people around the world.

  11. He needs to step down. Netanyahu would be a tyrant or a king. He is a criminal and needs to be locked up. Power to the people. Power to Democracy!

  12. PM Netanyahu has three cases against him. This is about him not about the people of Yisrael.

  13. Delay = Prepare for the next protest

  14. Jerusalem has always been out of control, from the crucifixion of Christ till now, the only difference now is a government overrides the people, before Herod then Pilate overrode the people! Blessed Be He.

  15. Netenyahu, trump Prison Cell Buddies. MAGA.

  16. All around the World Politicians are ruining every country. I stand with the people, stop the Politicians

  17. Yes, but how funny that lack of democracy and illegally occupied territories in Palestine no longer mobilizes anyone

  18. Not only a overhaul, BUT an elimination of free speech about Christ!

  19. If this were any other Middle Eastern country the US would would be actively trying to overthrow their government…

  20. If Trump wins, this is America's future. Dictatorship will be attempted. So vote for Trump2024

  21. Netanyahu is corrupt like Trump!

  22. Delay is not what abandon. Delaying is temporarily buying the time

  23. thx for reporting so fast. – remember what berlusconi set into motion to evade corruption indictments. 🙁

  24. I wonder if Trump is watching this?

  25. Repent Matthew chapter 24 Bible prophecies fulfilling repent vain is the help of man repent Jesus christ is our soon coming king repent

  26. So we know that Israelis have an understanding of the importance of the Supreme Court. Maybe they could think about the entire conflict between Israel and Palestinians?
