This is bad, Israel's government is turning into a monster that's getting out of control.

It's more like they realized that it doesn't matter how bad they act they won't get any serious backlash from the west so they are removing their mask more and more.

(I'm being retorical here) What would they have to do shoot and injure a politician from a European country?

I am pretty sure that won't even cut it, I mean they attacked a U.S military ship twice (the first one could be a mistake but the second time was intentional) and then they blamed it on Egypt, which prompted the U.S to prepare for bombing Cairo, until it was confirmed it was Israel so then they just swept the whole incident under the rug.

Oh no I get that, I was just trying to tell the story of that incident because to this day the fact that Israel got out of it without anything baffles me.

They straight up murdered citizens from most of their allies.. Mostly from the west. Not enough for anything other than a stern finger wag.

Even that would likely get a feeble, limp-wristed response.
