Well, that writing was on the wall. Netanyahu is closely connected to both the extremely corrupt Donald Trump & the Triad money launderer James Packer of Crown Casino. Organised crime only flourishes when in the shadows, come out into the light and they burn, burn, burn

Good

Trump can’t pardon him 😂
