Netanyahu Seeks Pardon, Biden Seeks Re-election
The Independent breathlessly reports that Benjamin Netanyahu has submitted a pardon request to Israeli President Isaac Herzog. This, of course, conveniently omits the very real reason he needs a pardon: a 2020 indictment for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three separate cases. It’s almost as if the 'free press' would rather focus on the bureaucratic niceties of a pardon application than
the alleged criminality underpinning it. Donald Trump, no stranger to legal woes himself, reportedly penned a letter to Herzog urging clemency. Because nothing screams 'justice' like one alleged criminal endorsing another for a pardon while war rages. One might wonder if the US leadership, which continues to provide billions in military aid and political cover to Netanyahu’s government during
alleged war crimes, views his potential conviction as an inconvenient truth – or just another Tuesday.
