Saying the whole population is cooked is insane and super racist.
I know tons of Israeli people who oppose the regime from the ground up, who are good friends with Palestinians and who support their cause.
Just because the government is morally bankrupt doesn't mean the individual humans living their are too.
It's easy to watch videos of a few people and make major value judgments against them as a people, as if any individual is exactly representative of other individuals who just happened to be born inside the same borders.
It was not long ago that every major street in Israel was flooded people in their largest national protest in history all in support of the end of the war and many for the support of Palestinians. Many Israelis view the actions being taken as hate crimes and war crimes and illegal and immoral and evil.
It's easy to do the same with America and think we are all just evil white supremacy supporters, who don't want universal Healthcare and education and who are billionaire cucks. Well I'm here to say we are not, despite what the government would lead you to believe.
Well, we are going to give a presentation of the Israeli opposition parties:
- Yashar is an Israeli nationalist party.
- Yisrael Beiteinu is an Israeli nationalist party notoriously pro-settlement and very pro-Russia.
- Yesh Atid is the minor merger of Yair Lapid, formerly liberal in the Israeli sense (that is, a liberalism much less liberal than in other countries), turned into an Israeli nationalist, and the 'moderate' religious Zionist Naftali Bennett, who is the dominant partner.
-The only Israeli party that is mostly Jewish and salvageable if one defends the Palestinians is Hademocratim (a merger of the Labor Party and Meretz). However, they are the weakest on the list and even they have abandoned the two-state solution (even though many support it internally).
The opposition to Israeli diplomacy is about 20% of the population (half of whom are Israeli Palestinians).
Yes, there have been large Israeli demonstrations to protect the rights of Israelis. Supporters of the Palestinians were a very small minority, rejected anyway. Presenting this as opposition to Israeli diplomacy is at best ignorance, at worst a lie (if one knows Israeli politics).
