There's a lot of innocent people in Israel that are fighting against the current regime, just like in your country. Don't damn them just because you're angry.

most Israelis (81%) say the military has a very or somewhat good influence on the way things are going in Israel https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/06/20/how-israelis-view-their-government-institutions-and-leaders/

73% of Israeli Jews think that suffering of the Iranian civilian population is not important in Iran War https://en.idi.org.il/articles/59726

Support for Netanyahu's party has gone up since 2023 and support for the opposition has gone down.

There comes a time when you have to admit that the apple is too rotten to be saved. Nothing will change anytime soon; if anything it will only get worse.

Its obviously hyperbole. Completely carpet bombing the population isnt a step I would want to take.

But also, lets not downplay thousands and thousands of innocents that have been killed by Israel already.

You could carpet bomb the settlements in the west bank for sure though.

Killing more innocents doesn't solve the problem, AND is the same as your chief complaint.

Don't do that.

The state, as an American ally, conducting genocide in the region needs to "dissapear." The people, cannot dissapear.

its a ridiculously tiny minority. And leaving Israel in that region means letting them continue their war crimes, and you know that. There is really no way around it. The only ethical solution is to eject them from the region entirely. The 8 year bloodbath needs to end.

We can't be opposed to the Gazan genocide and at the same time use genocidal language like "ejecting them from the region." Them being Jewish people. Yes Israel should be sanctioned, and militarily invaded. Benjamin Netenyahu should be assassinated, and the country needs to be rid of the Zionist ideology. But there is simply no way to mass migrate a large population without great pain and suffering.

Plus, if the Israeli people, the citizens not the elitist leaders and soldiers, were moved from their country, where would they go? To cause more violence in the regions they move to? The Israeli people have been subject to large scale mass international propaganda, they need to be deradicilized, not treated like parasites.

I agree with having a firm, radical opposition to genocide, but individually, morally it is not good to use words like "flatten" or "eject." I understand the anger, I think we all feel it.

israelis are definitely not a people that are going to get better over time. Watch any interview with israelis talking about committing war crimes. They are always smiling. They absolutely love killing, and they dont care at all who it was. The only thing that will work is flattening them. Its their inevitable future and nothing can stop that now.
