as a more concrete aside i find netanyahu moving the political capital of israel to jerusalem to be a shrewd but ultimately very disrespectful and irreligious-risking move; he's basically using the shared history of the region in the abrahamic faiths as a human shield of sorts to limit attacks from islamic nations, putting that shared history there, a touchstone of commonality for often very disparate populations, at permanent risk for the sakes of whatever temporal aims likud may have at the time.

it's like if france moved the functions in the elyseé to the galleries under the louvre and then bombed vienna or prague

"bibi moved"="bibi cajoled the premier UNSC state to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel". after the formal recognition from the US netanyahu had leeway to move more admin functions to jerusalem from tel aviv. as i understand it this is controverial amongst israelis as tel aviv is seen as the more liberal and cosmopolitan city amongst the two and it has a history of consistently being a wellspring of left wing/liberal political activism in israeli politics

i'm plowing through decades of israeli history in a couple weeks so give it a while to settle. trying to retain the politician names alone is an uphill battle, like the taking of the golan heights in the six day war
