I fully admit all of these but all of the above has little to none in common with modern day. Bibi wasn’t the one who survived Holocaust, he hasn’t leaded the nation as it was brought up. Israel has changed a lot, just like United States did.

Wiki:

Netanyahu is the first Israeli prime minister born in Israel after the founding of the state. Netanyahu joined the Israeli Defense Forces during the 1967 Six-Day War, and became a team leader in the Sayeret Matkal special forces unit. He took part in many missions, including Operation Gift and Operation Isotope, during which he was shot in the shoulder. He fought on the front lines in the Yom Kippur War in 1973, taking part in special forces raids along the Suez Canal, and then leading a commando assault deep into Syrian territory.[1] He achieved the rank of captain before being discharged. Netanyahu served as the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations from 1984 to 1988, member of the Likud Party, and was Prime Minister from June 1996 to July 1999.

Seems to me he grew up along with Israel and understands how it’s changed, as well as the threats against it.
