The media want us to believe that the Problem with Israel is the far right government, while in reality it is the whole fucking Nation.
I have known a number of actual Israelis. The majority just wants to live peaceful lives.
This is definitely the MAGA side.
The polls show that Israelis still overwhelmingly support what's happening in Gaza.
They seem to believe that the only way to live in peace is to kill all Arabs.
Problem is what do we define "peaceful lives". You and I think it just means being able to go about our daily lives and just that, but Israelis have been drowning in propaganda. It's like saying "Americans just want peaceful lives right after 9/11/" Sure, but what they think will get them their peaceful lives is an armed invasion and genocide. It was a popular enough view to get Bush reelected.
If they allow it to continue to happen then they also share blame.
If you despise the infamous Nazi prision guards, you need to despise the Israeli that does not speak/act against genocide.
Your social media feed wants you to think that, but the reality is that these protesters are the far right ultra orthodox types that vote for parties that are the furthest right of the governing coalition. Yay for proportional representation where you can form the government by making a coalition with the furthest right parties, right?
It's really not. It's incredibly rare for a whole population to agree on anything.
Chances are these are their equivalent of MAGA.
Well put
