Yeah I agree. What I meant was Bibi himself has no religion (or principles), and that he’ll govern as religiously or secularly as he needs to keep power. In this case, you’re right that means governing ultra religiously.
I thought Benjamin was facing a shut load of corruption charges and more. Did he beat them? >

No, he just bribed a bunch of parties in to backing him and got the premiership and the ability to screw with the police and company before he could get sentenced. >

Interesting. Can the Israeli PM pardon himself? (Also while we're at it: can the U.S. President pardon himself?) >

The US President can’t pardon themselves, but what Nixon did was resign and then have his VP pardon him once he became President >

We as a race need to realize that electing crooks just isn't in our best interests.
One day... >

Or electing politicians deep in a cult. (aka religion) >

I don’t think the problem with Bibi is his religiousness. The man is a snake who will say and do literally anything to get power. >

It is a related problem though, because Netanyahu is able to partner with fundamentalist religious parties (who don't care about civil liberties or the rule of law) to pre-empt his corruption cases in exchange for inflicting religion on the rest of the public, such as forcing public transportation and stores to close on the sabbath, and allowing majority-fundamentalist communities to discriminate against the non-religious.
