It's understandable to be pissed at Israel for what they do to Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, but just like the critics of this very dick move: killing civilians is not going to solve anything. It just creates more resentment and hate.
Israel has a draft, both genders.
Most israelis support the Gaza genocide.
"Civilians" are a minority over there.
When Russia invaded Ukraine, a lot of Russians bought the "special operation to de-nazify Ukraine" narrative. Some still do today.
When the US invaded Iraq, a lot of Americans thought it was to free Iraqis and destroy WMD.
It took the end of WWII for a lot of Germans to realize what was happening in the concentration camps.
Israel is not a special place with people fundamentally different from the rest of the world. People are pretty much the same everywhere, and propaganda works everywhere.
A lot of Western media believed it until the day of the invasion.
Previously. Previously.
