Israeli protesters during an judicial overall protests outside the Knesset in Jerusalem, February 20, 2023. (Photo: Ilia Yefimovich/dpa via ZUMA Press/APA Images)The entire Israeli political spectrum is united in blasting Netanyahu for not continuing to attack Iran, and Israeli society agrees. The reason, to put it simply, is that Israelis are war junkies.

To be "fair" to hard-line settler types, the mood of the world is swinging so strongly against them and their regime, this might be the very last time they have a chance to get what they want.

Hopefully, they'll never find a world again that is as complacent as it is now.

I understand the hate in the comments, but I think the important part is something else, How can the world deal with a country that only wants to commit genocide with all its neighbors? and not the government, the population in general. What can we do with this? How do we get out of the cycle of violence with people like this?

All this makes sense… Instilled fear and paranoia for generations.. and now they collect the fruit of it.. people are afraid that Iran will nuclear bomb them (with a bomb that Iran doesn’t have) if they don’t final solution Iran

Inhuman savages.

Then they'll claim people hate them "because we're Jews".

I was once quite a fierce supporter of israel. Maybe because I was trying too hard to not be antisemitic.

But this shit man... It's getting ridiculous.

They've lost all my sympathy

I'm all for shitting on these goons, but that pic is from 3 years ago and unrelated.

The picture in the original article does indeed mention that:

A whole nation of genocidal maniacs. Just as racist and murderous as the Nazis.

There are a handful of decent humans there who oppose it all. They have protested and been beaten up.

Mostly young people. Not very many of them. But I think that's pretty courageous considering they are literally surrounded by wolves.

What must it be like to live in a country surrounded by insane fascist. ?

Oh... Nevermind I guess I know.

Well.

But at least most of my fellow U.S citizens aren't in support of it.

I think Israel must feel like literally everyone is maga except like 2 people you know.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

But at least most of my fellow U.S citizens aren’t in support of it.

Only 60% oppose an unprovoked attack targeting schools and hospitals?!

And their reasons:

  • I am from the other side of the uniparty so I dogmatically am against anything the other side does.

  • The gas prices are going up!

  • We are sending our poor little innocent baby killers to die for israel!


No, your country isn't better.
Also at best a handful of decent people, the US should be nuked just as hard AFAIC.

Even the Nazis weren't "a whole nation of genocidal maniacs." In both Israel and Nazi Germany there is/was opposition to the atrocities committed by their leadership, just not enough. In Israel in particular "do you support comically evil thing" polls tend to get 60-80% support, except the Iran war which at its outset had 93% support. That's not a whole nation of genocidal maniacs; that's a nation of mostly genocidal maniacs.

This got to be the level of head shaking that can break a neck and dislocate shoulders.

Bloodthirsty pigs.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I guess what goes for the US population goes for Israel's, too: not all of them are infected.

As nations though, they're both fascist.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Read closer, they're criticizing Netanyahu for not being pro-war enough. Not all of them are infected, but Israel is a lot worse than even America in this regard.

Read closer, they’re criticizing Netanyahu for not being pro-war enough.

Yeah I totally got that but I can see how my comment is not quite unambiguous enough.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

They are ironically, like Sodomah and Gomorah.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

what are your arguments to prove the US, the country actually bombing schools and hospitals is better than them?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 27 minutes ago

Israel is doing that too, but also America has a lot more domestic opposition to its leadership's naked imperialism than Israel. This opposition rarely translates to action making it more or less worthless, but still, Americans do better on the "do you not like naked imperialism" index than Israeli Jews.
