Good to see that there are still decent people left in Israel

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 20 points 4 weeks ago

The majority of Israel is decent. The prime minister is literally a criminal who has been protested for years before this conflict. He tries to override the constitution and take power away from Israel’s Supreme Court.

He’s cozied up with the religious extremists who keep him in power. The overwhelming majority of young Israelis want Bibi gone.

Maybe or maybe not... Somebody within Israel is committing war crimes and it aint genocide Bibi. It is regular citizens.

This issue is similar to Russia... At some point people will need to own actions of their criminal state.

Germans had to do it...

Well yes of course. It would be a very strange thing for you to take what I said as “all Israelis have good intentions it’s just Bibi doing everything”.

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago

No.

The majority of Israel supports what’s happening in Palestine. They want their holy land for themselves and only themselves.

Just because they also dislike Bibi doesn’t matter there.

No that’s an extremist take. I’ve been there many times, have family and friends there. They’re all horrified by the civillian casualties and are out protesting.

No, that’s the actual take.

19% think the war has gone too far, 34% think it hasn’t gone far enough

And most protests in Israel are because the government isn’t freeing the hostages not because the government is committing genocide.

Liberally the majority of israelis support the Genocide in Gaza according to israeli polls.

The only thing the see as a counter argument is the hostages. They don't see Palestinians as humans.
