    I know all the not-stupids already know it but it bears repeating:

    When we say Israel is a shitty genocide committer, we mean the Israeli government–Netanyahu and all his cunty supporters. Not all the normal people who live there who hate the shit as much as anyone else.

      It is important to note that the government had majority approval. The settlers annexing the Westbank was continuud by every single government of the past 30 years, even the “progressive” ones. The relentless attacks on Gaza had and have majority approval in polls.

      Removing Netanyahu is a first step, but Israeli society seriously needs to work through a lot of things for its “normal” to become in accordance with international law and basic principles of ethics and moral.

        49.5% of the voters voted for the current government.

        Which “progressive” government did Israel have in the last 30 years?
        Barak and especially Rabin’s government stopped the settlements.
        Olmert had the “realignment plan”, which was shelved due to the 2nd Lebanon war.
