    Genocidal? For sure!

    Military Dictatorship? Sadly not. Because he does in fact seem to have the democratic majority behind his actions. And that makes it worse in my eyes.

      Mussolini had popular support throughout his term as dictator. Just because it’s a dictatorship doesn’t preclude popular support, and all dictatorships have some form of democracy embedded within them since they’re all based on western roman governments.

        Yes, not having fair and free elections makes a dictatorship. Which Mussolini didn’t have after seizing power. And as far as I am aware Netanyahu didn’t manipulate elections (yet).
