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.
From Mondoweiss via This RSS Feed.
Israel is a sick and diseased society.
The poll they cite only polled 500 people and the "Israel Democracy Institute" who conducted the poll was founded by a Trump mega donor.
Mondoweiss loses credibility by releasing this article without pointing out the obvious polling issue.
They also failed to shout out the organizations that have been protesting daily against the war! Standing Together עומדים ביחד has been organizing protests since day one of the operation.
Mondoweiss is showing itself as an unfair propagandist publication who is more interested in clicks and spicy headlines than actually giving a real picture.
🤦♂️
Can't say I'm surprised.
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.
Israelis are deeply supremacist and dont care what the world thinks, except insomuch as it affects their access to resources and influence. This is reflected in the targetting of their missiles in their "samson" doctrine. They targetted capitals across the world, including Europe.
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?
Not supporting and helping their fascists government and leaders would be a good start and would solve most of the problems.
Crater it
They must be put under ethical adult supervision. They clearly cannot be allowed to rule a state. They flatly do not beleive in human rights and are supremacists. Basically nazis.
Denazification of Germany after WW2 is a good example.
Is it a practical example for dealing with a country that is (or at least makes it an open secret that it very probably is) nuclear armed though?
German "denazification" first required complete military defeat and occupation of the German state, that's not really practical to achieve when the country to be occupied has the option to devastate whatever country it's fighting as a deterrent/revenge once it concludes defeat is inevitable. As such, what is needed here I think is examples of how to defuse such a situation and push a population away from violence purely through limited conflict, economic pressure, sponsorship of internal dissent, etc
Its possible, just very expensive. A complete blockade for a decade or two would be a good start. They dont have the resources there to be self sufficient.
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
It's the same with minorities who are racist.
There are assholes in every society.
Just because they are marginalized by someone else doesn't make them any less of an asshole.
It makes them conservatives.
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:

Iran has claimed on many occasions that Israel shouldn't exist. Iran is funding groups that target Israeli civilians. Iran used its missile program to launch splitting warheads on Israel to maximize civilian casualties. Iran is trying to develop a nuclear bomb. Most Israelis support a war which would end once Iran will no longer have the means to create and launch a nuclear bomb at them.
So, the obvious conclusion is that Israelis are war junkies.
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.
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.
What country are you in bloomcole that your hands are clean?
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.
Some people need a meteor.
This got to be the level of head shaking that can break a neck and dislocate shoulders.
Bloodthirsty pigs.
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.
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.
They are ironically, like Sodomah and Gomorah.
what are your arguments to prove the US, the country actually bombing schools and hospitals is better than them?
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.
a lot more domestic opposition to its leadership’~~s naked imperialism~~
Again purely out of self-interest and their 2 sides cultism.
Both sides support imperialism, none of their voters care about that.
They care about domestic issues and that's it, unless foreign policy affects them, making that into a domestic issue also.
Navel staring and selfish people.
And I can add deluded and thinking too much of themselves too.
lmao this might be the biggest joke of a website, fox news for left wing people
also holy shit those pop ups are annoying on mobile, really took me back to 1999
Get outta here with media literacy, you'll scare the kids
