Excerpts: "Our judges review thousands of nominations to cull the tastiest, most sublime examples of individuals saying the exact opposite of what they said months before, individuals taking actions that are precisely in opposition to stances previously held, and leaders shamelessly debasing themselves by abandoning stances they had once embraced as principles. This year, we include all-new categories business, media, global leaders and we are forced to acknowledge that some of this past years most seismic examples of hypocrisy were perpetrated by Democrats...

(3,015 posts)Netanyahus refusal to accede to Bidens wishes even as Biden continued to offer comprehensive financial and military support embarrassed Biden, and his support among Muslims and young people eroded. Netanyahu, claiming that he would never waver on a wide variety of issues, refused to agree to a cease fire in Gaza.
Until Donald Trump told him to. It has been widely reported that Netanyahu dropped many of his conditions for the cease fire when Trump sent him a message to agree to a cease fire before Inauguration Day.
Now we know that Bibi Netanyahu wanted Donald Trump to win the election, and he did what he could do to tip the scales of the election to Trump.
With friends like that hey, give the man his statuette.
Hamas-hatred and Islamophobia (1.1% of the US population) really helped the hardworking American taxpayer and the Democratic Party in 2024. I'm sure Kamala Harris and Joe Biden will remain good friends with Bibi in the future.

Two ethnic-cleansers, both indicted across several jurisdictions, never to see one day in prison anywhere.
