The country:
Benjamin Netanyahu is only waving the unity card with a sword at his throat, and the loss of power seems more inevitable than ever.
He gave a taped statement last night, and the word "hysterical" hardly does his words justice. It was a complete and utter meltdown, broadcast almost live.
Even when Netanyahu plays the role of unity supporter, he cannot break his habit of lying and distorting history, even recent history.
His loss of self-control is evident in his strange comparison to what is happening in Europe when he said:
"The fires and flames on the streets of Paris and Brussels will pale in comparison to the fires we see in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa. Israel simply will not survive."
This statement perfectly reflects the prime minister's psychological state.
