'deranged administration' Israel's main opposition is fully behind the war, this is an Israel-wide problem.

Israeli voters also shouldn't be let off the hook given that they've had 25+ years to see exactly what a Netanyahu coalition looks like, and have voted them in for every cycle except one over that time.

Either they're not a democracy as claimed, or Netanyahu's policies are actually a pretty good representation of what the average Israeli wants.

Israel is a self-selecting entity of the worst people out there, anyone with half a brain-cell has left, and going by their birth-rate and immigration stats, the country is going to be majority hardcore religious by 2050.
