    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.

      …are you saying that the solution for genocide is more genocide? There are a lot of innocent people in Israel. We should not be nuking those people just because their government is failing them. And likewise, the innocent people of ALL countries (including yours :) should be spared when fixing the problems caused by a corrupt government.

      Nuking countries when your goal is to stop their leaders isn’t an option. Sorry. Try again.

        Israel not existing is not a genocide against Jews.

            Israel could stop existing without a single person dying.

            It wouldn’t happen, but it could.

                It’s not exile if you’re not from there.

                You’re not stateless if you’re not from there.

                It’s not ethnic cleansing if you are a colonizer being removed.

                With that said I don’t generally think that Israelis born there should be removed. But that’s up to the Palestinians, it’s their land.

        No other country has this much popular support for an ethno-supremacist nationalist policy of extermination. Even the US, which is the most hated worldwide right now, sits at 30% support, at best. The “innocent” people of Israel (if you can call people who serve in the IDF that) can always go back to the countries they came from before colonizing a land that wasn’t theirs, that was stolen through murder and displacement.

        I’m not pretending to know the solution, but the time for peaceful resolution has passed by at least 70 years. Any solution that comes now will involve violence against one side or the other. Thinking otherwise is utopian nonsense.

          There are several generations of Israelis born Israelis. They don’t have anywhere they are from to return to.

          I agree there is no realistic solution without genocide in sight, but that is not an excuse to support more genocide.

          The isrealis need to be condemned and isolated from international support. After we accomplish that, we can re evaluate. They might not be so bloodthirsty if the US and other countries weren’t so ride or die for the IDF.

            Also important to note that Palestine was a very diverse place before the occupation began.

            The problem isn’t specific people or a specific religion or specific genetics, it’s a diseased culture.

            Though at this point, it needs to be up to Palestinians who gets to stay and who doesn’t.

              I admit that if there is no completely just outcome, I would side with the oppressed.

            Israelis can easily travel to Europe and the US. For example, in Germany, they can get citizenship if they can prove German descent. In other places they have advantaged programs for immigration compared to other non West countries. Choosing to stay is embracing Zionism. That’s the only peaceful solution, which obviously isn’t going to happen when 70-80% support the status quo and further expansionism.

              The majority of the Jewish population of Isreal are decended from the Soviet Union and the Middle East. When Isreal was founded 10s of thousands of Jews lived in North Africa and other middle eastern countries. Nearly all of them moved to Israel, and those countries will not welcome their children and grandchildren back.

        I think what they want to say is that the solution for a colonial apartheid state is to send the colonizers home where they came from.

        Is that a genocide in your opinion?
