It’s often difficult to know who is a good guy and who is not. I’ve always numbered Netanyahu in the good guy column. This is not nearly enough to change my mind. I agree with you about the stench.

I think those of us who are honest and conservative (kind of the same thing) need to be both rational and open-minded and base our assessments on evidence, not just knee-jerk reaction to defend/condemn. The Bush clan, who I have long defended, have slid into the gray area and are teetering on the edge of being in the bad guy column, IMO.

I don’t want to give a free pass to people I like, but unless they can come up with more than petty issues, hearsay, or entrapment type situations, the good guy meter isn’t budging much for me on Netanyahu.

I try to think of this in reverse when I see how hard it is to budge the hard left in defense of their “heroes”.

I agree with this and everything else you posted in this post. Good post. We need to be objective always and not be like the leftists that defend and deflect every accusation just because it’s against “one of our guys”.

With that said, I’m going to need more to this story to condemn BiBi. Too much fake news these days to go one way or another based on one report. Just have to remain objective no matter where the truth leads. This is what separates us from the leftists not just politics: a Love for the Truth above all else.

“It’s often difficult to know who is a good guy and who is not.”

Knowing who is the good guy and who is the bad guy is not difficult, it is impossible, since the left controls the media and has weaponized it to advance their political agenda and to destroy the opposition.

This means no story can be believed - in fact, one should assume it’s a lie.

If it is possible to glean anything from a story like this, is would be the following:

This story puts Netanyahu in a negative light, therefore he is one of the good guys.
