Barak, messianic
Former Shin Bet head Yuval Diskin’s discourse-warping indictment of Bibi and Barak as self-anointed messiahs is not hyperbolic criticism; it’s based on (among other things) an actual megalomaniac Barak statement:
“At the end of the day, when the military command looks up, it sees us — the minister of defense and the prime minister. When we look up, we see nothing but the sky above us.” – Ehud Barak
In the Jewish religion, Yahweh is not just “the one and only true G-d,” he resides in the sky.
Brings to mind this classic techno song. “Who loves you and who do you love? The Messiahs! Without further ado, it’s time…to start…BOMBING IRAN!”

What a smug little man! He seems not to realize that having nothing but the sky above you isn’t a guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen to you.
Someone needs to Photoshop a handkerchief into his hand and some bird turd onto his head. (Gotta hate it when those seagulls come swooping in unexpectedly!)
Kudos for the term “Deputy Messiah”.
/megalomaniac Barak statement/
It only sounds megalomaniac to people who never had to deal with the burden of command.
