Binyahu attacks Netanyahu's 'poison machine' and describes encounters with his supporters.

In a pointed opinion column, commentator Avi Binyahu declares that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is elected again, he will be his prime minister. However, the bulk of the column is a harsh critique of Netanyahu and his leadership. Binyahu accuses Netanyahu of personal responsibility for the October 7 massacre and describes a 'criminal subculture' in his office. He elaborates on issues the upcoming elections will decide: loss of governance in the Negev and Galilee, rising crime rates, lack of personal security, six open war fronts after three years of fighting, the reservist crisis, Israeli democracy and the principle of separation of powers, deterioration of the education system, long surgery queues, cost of living, political appointments, abandonment of hasbara, and Israel's standing in the world. Binyahu attacks Netanyahu's 'poison machine' and describes two encounters with Netanyahu supporters: one who votes out of hatred for the media, and another who appeals to ethnic solidarity. The column ends with a call for leadership that serves the country rather than the political interests of the coalition.
