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.

Israel has a proportional voting system, meaning its party representation across the knesset (its parliament) pretty accurately reflects the desires of its people.
And that’s the problem.
Israel doesn’t just have evil institutions or an evil settler colonialist origin, but a modern populace with evil intent. Sure, they may be propagandized, but so were the Nazis; that didn’t make them any less dangerous. And the nuclear bomb was invented to deal with them.
Just calling it evil is a cop out. It’s religious colonial nationalism fueled by propaganda and racism that is fed to them as soon as they leave the womb. There is a very intentional wall that keeps the settlers and Israelis from seeing what is happening to Palestinians. When that wall cracks some people switch sides. These absolutists “they’re all evil” end up contributing to the problem by drawing that line. Instead we should be amplifying the voices and orgs in Israel and Palestine that aren’t giving up on the propagandized. It is an uphill battle and you’re helping the other side more than anything else.
