Unlike His Buddy Trump, Even Netanyahu Rises To The Occasion.
• Is honest with Israelis about the severity of the situation
• Closes all schools and universities, and tells people no large gatherings, stay 1-2 meters away from each other.
• Tells parents to have older kids watch younger ones, not grandparents as old people are most at risk
• Invites chief rival to form temporary "emergency government" so that the whole country is pulling in the same direction to fight corona virus. (Not 100% as altruistic as it seems but bottom line is it will be good for Israelis to have government speaking with one voice.)
As awful as Bibi is, he seems like a great valiant leader next to our liar-in-chief, a man who seems dragged from the set of "The Producers" but is actually our fucking president.

Also *all Israelis* coming back into the country, regardless of who they know, gets 14 day quarantine, and tourists (if there are any anymore) must show proof of self-quarantine back home for 14 days.

Like him or not - he's a leader. Cool and confident in crisis.

Cool and confident but still an asshole.

The US can learn a lot from Israel on a lot of things.

Nicely stated OP. Impressive about Netanyahu. You see what people are made of in times of crisis.
As bad as Trump has been he has succeeded in surpassing his usual arrogant, self-absorbed, childlike, completely dim persona and shown a whole new side to his complete ineptness. Those bumper stickers stating "worstpresidentever" need to be on every car in America.
