1. Israel is not "quietly" annexing the #WestBank. It's just that no-one is listening.
2. This is not a "blunder". It's a deliberate strategy by the Israeli regime to further choke off any chance of Palestinian independence.

Herzog is a current president, former legislator and IDF Intel whose 2015 election campaign featured praise for him seeing Arabs in rifle crosshairs. You can not unpolitical that CV. He also gave highly political speeches here, including asserting Al Quds is the βeternal capital of Israeliβ.

All the same, "Anti queer" would be a more accurate description of many of the "phobes" out there
