@vivify said28 years over the course of, say, 40 nonconsecutively would be (arguably) "for 28 years." 16 years over the course of 28 nonconsecutively is certainly not "for 28 years," especially in the context of whether someone else is likely to come to power any time soon.
Not consecutively, obviously.
@sonhouse saidFor 12 of those years, his party did not control the government, which certainly makes him not "in power."
@sh76
Trump is not POTUS now but he is still in charge of repubs but they won't admit it.
Here is a bit taken from an article about Netanyahu :
"Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu (/ˌnɛtənˈjɑːhuː/ NET-ən-YAH-hoo;[3] Hebrew: בִּנְיָמִין נְתַנְיָהוּ, romanized: Binyāmīn Nētanyāhū, pronounced [binjaˈmin netanˈjahu] ⓘ; born 21 October 1949) is an Israeli politician who has been serv ...[text shortened]... 16 years is a long time for ANY politician to be in power. But he was a political force before that.
Trump certainly has a lot of power right now, but he's most certainly not "in power" in the sense of making decisions for the government of the United States.
@sh76 saidNetenyahoo first became leader after Rabin was shot (shot in 95, Netenyahoo was in power in 96).
I have never claimed to know "all about Israeli politics," but I certainly:
1. Know a F of a lot more about Israeli politics than any other regular contributor to this board; and
2. Know that Netanyahu has not been PM of Israel for 28 years.
He was out of power a period, and then back.
96 = 28 years ago.
And you know fukk all about Israel. Other than what you’ve picked up on right-wing nonsense spouting rubbish.

@sh76 saidSH76, certainly you are accustomed to the silly posts of liberals. They do not speak directly. All well and good for comedians, like in the title, but consider the waste of time an effort on both sides of the post. They get cute, maybe a few glib remarks, a rhyme or two, and we literally miss what they are on about.
What are you talking about?
If Wajoma or Hoople had replied, with maybe some nice humor (not comedy, a totally different thing) , they would have made short work of saying the dates of Netanya's reign, so that a reasonable discussion could continue. Note the elementary posting elements, such as going headlong into the silliness of exact irrelevant dates, which takes us away from the issue.
You know.....What is the issue? What is the issue.

@averagejoe1 saidNo. It’s an opinion.
You think my post 3 clicks back is not a fact.? Of course it is.
@shavixmir saidI can see that it could be considered an opinion , no problem. You prob would say that my saying 'socialism ruins lives' is an opinion, too. It is a fact . That is why there is a Forum!~
No. It’s an opinion.

@shavixmir saidThat makes sense to you? A peace-keeping force composed mostly of Arabs nations surrrounding Israel? You mean the same ones trying to destroy Israel for the last 75 years? You Jew-haters are so stupid.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. On the Israeli-Gaza conflict.
Not only is it funny, he offers solutions and pinpoints the problems; more objectively than many politicians or news agencies.
What I like most about it is the role of the comedian / jester being used as ...[text shortened]... gree with his offered solutions, you can admire the master class on comedy as a tool to open debate.

Personally I would use UN peacekeepers.
@AverageJoe1
You mean folks like ME hold back not telling what we think. I TOLD you what I think quite clearly, Trump is a fukking CRIMINAL, always was, IS AND WILL BE unless his sorry ass is in prison and I would not be surprised if he tried to pull his shyte from there also. So TELL ME I don't make my thoughts known.
