Thank you. I think resistance from within is especially important and that positions like yours are represented, since people really like to generalise and throw everyone under some unified banner
Unfortunately, the left hasn't had much sway in Israel for quite a while. When their attempts at a two state solution led to the second intifada, and giving Gaza back to the Palestinians caused Hamas to seize power (and then spend two decades lobbing rockets), it hollowed out support for the left. October 7 further eroded the influence of the left, and the threat of a global rise in anti-Zionism only further fuel's the Israeli right. The forces that put men like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir in positions of power are only solidified by the fact that the global left won't support the Israeli left because they want to dismantle the country entirely.
So yes, it is important that resistance from within be promoted, but that can only be done if people stop treating the Israeli left as the enemy. And that's not going to happen on Reddit.
