Sorry not reading not looking at your posts. Who are the bad guys---the Dathan-Abiram types? Not Trump. Not Netanyahu. “When he went out the next day, he found two Hebrews fighting נצים; so he said to the offender לרשע, Why do you strike your fellow? He retorted, Who made you chief and ruler over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? Moses was frightened, and thought: Then the matter is known!” (Exodus 2:13-14). Hertz Chumash p. 211: “who made thee a ruler. A typical attitude of a small but persistent Jewish minority towards anyone working for Israel. The Rabbis speak of it as the Dathan-and-Abiram type of mind (cf. Num.xvi). Dathan and Abiram were demagogues = a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument. Dathan and Abiram falsely accuse Moses “Do you mean to kill me.” Same in “Is it not enough that you brought us from a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us להמיתנו in the wilderness, that you would also lord over us תשתרר עלינו גם השתרר?” (Numbers 16:13). The radical progressive Left falsely accuse Trump POTUS and falsely accuse Netanyahu prime minister of Israel. Moses prays that God not grant the prayers of the wicked rebels. “Moses was much aggrieved and he said to the Lord, Pay no regard to their oblation. I have not taken the ass of any one of them, nor have I wronged any one of them.” (Numbers 16:15). What did Dathan and Abiram and supporters pray to God? In their sick minds they had one enemy---Moses. Moses always spoke the truth and never harmed Dathan and Abiram in the least.
