How dependent is Israel on the US these days and the good will of its government? Maybe Israel has reached a place where it feels free to tell the US to take a hike.

That seems...not advisable for the Israelis.

This sounds like Israel will have a general strike that's basically unprecedented in scope in modern Western history? Am I off base in this regard?

Great point, forgot about 1968.

The most surprising thing is that even with all of the protests, divisions and the complete trainwreck management of the approval of this bill, Netanyahu would probably still win a snap election, according to polls.

Of course, in an election period everything would, probably, be different but it speaks volumes that, currently, the Opposition is just not capable to form an alternative to Bibi Netanyahu.

At the risk of being blunt, why the heck is that [still] the case?

These past few months seem to have strained the fabric of Israeli society to a breaking point. Has Israel moved so far to the right that an anti-Bibi bloc is that difficult to form?

It does seem like the days of the Bibi era are numbered. Is that a correct assessment?

Though it seems the question of what Israeli politics & life looks post-Bibi intrigues me the most.
