Netanyahu desperately wants to look strong, but instead is working against his own cause through poorly thought remarks and surrounding himself with people that suffer from the same problem. He could be doing better if he simply kept silence more often. His government does not hesitate to appear on TV interviews, but their poor preparation results in embarassing contradictions that sometimes are met with laughter. They consistently show an arrogant attitude that seems almost like a comedic sketch. An elementary school debate team would prevail over them. He is also a disaster for his belief system, cherrypicking some mitzvot taken out of context (like what was said about the Amalekites), and disregarding others.
