    I mean right-wing parties generally run on not allowing a Palestinian state to be created, and on settlement of the West bank and “hard on Gaza” policies. They’re not explicitly running on genociding Gaza, but that’s what these things mean.

    I can’t find a recent poll about Israeli approval of the war (the most recent one I found was made in 19 November and had 88% approval), but the idea that Israelis are being forced to take part in this against their will is decidedly false; otherwise

      Then why the move to pull the crazies out of cabinet? If what you’re saying is true, there isn’t a possible world where the public wouldn’t want the crazies in there to carry out the genocide they’ve been covertly voting for. Why would the public support Benny Gantz, a moderate on Palestine, coming into cabinet? Why would he be so far ahead in election polling?

      People saying that they support a war with Hamas is very different from saying they support the murder or displacement of all the residents of Gaza.
