Well done. You have demonstrated a Talmudic-like truth that a sincere commentator in the margins is more valuable than a politician whose base of support is marginal.

A quibble on one of your comments: “Bibi needs to go because everybody hates him, and he's become an easy excuse for people to express contempt for Israel.” I would think that replacing “contempt” with “hope” would state another meaningful challenge. Ending Bibi's long political career in Israel, like ending Trump's shorter run in America, is not enough alone to restore the strength and global moral standing of his country. To achieve that goal, a new, confident majority has to emerge with support from a middle band of voters that is anxious, but wary of ideologues.
