For years, the global media has framed Netanyahu as the embodiment of moral failure, while surrounding him, literally and figuratively, are regimes built on bribery, theft, repression, and blood money. The contrast is not accidental. It is ideological.

Netanyahu’s cases, whether one agrees with him or not, exist because Israel has rule of law. They are debated openly, appealed legally, and challenged publicly. No tanks roll into the streets. No judges disappear. No journalists are imprisoned.
Now compare that to Israel’s neighborhood.
