It helps when you realize that home is an adverb in English.

Only if you gained object permanence on October 7th 2023.

They used to. Now they don't.

They don't need to say it (mostly because nobody is asking that question). Two questions that were asked is "Is the number of deaths in Gaza justified by the war" and "do you think Israel is using adequate or too little force in Gaza". And apparently 88% of Israeli jews think the answer is yes for the former, and 94% think so for the latter. Similarly, only 27% of Israeli Jews support a two-state solution, while 38% think Israel should annex the West Bank with limited Palestinian rights (admittedly I thought this one would be higher).

I mean I'm quoting numbers from two weeks ago. I'd love to think that the number of people who support genocide in Israel is less than that, but you can't argue with evidence.

Man genocide and forced migration had been the Zionist plan since 1917, and if you let something like a genocide get you behind schedule you won't get any settler colonialism done.

They've been protesting against him because he violated their security and democracy, not because he's committing genocide. 80% of them (including 88% of Jewish Israelis) are perfectly fine with that part.

I only learned this today, but apparently one of Hamas's founders was 8 years old when he saw his uncle get summarily executed by IDF forces in the Khan Yunis massacre. So... Uh... yeah.

I mean they're doing genocide, which runs contradictory to the purpose of Jihad since you can't spread Islam (or any religion, really) to dead people. That's why I'm saying to not get things mixed up.

Egypt is no longer a regional power. We're America's errand boys, bought and paid for. Good point about Saudi Arabia and Turkey, though, what the fuck were they doing?

Okay Israel is not doing Jihad. Israel is doing what uninformed Westerners imagine when they hear the word "Jihad". Let's not get things mixed up.

Standing by and watching a genocide take place isn’t all that admirable in my opinion.

I mean the Houthis weren't, but there's only so much you can do when the US has two aircraft carriers and implications next to you.

America does want an unstable middle east but tbf the middle east is basically next to Europe, which really felt the past few refugee crises.

I mean to be fair this data is from October. Not expecting much, but the data is probably different now.

I mean true enough but that has nothing to do with preparing for war. To put it simply there's a reason, say, Japan has an army despite their constitution denouncing war.

in the last election 70% of eligible voters voted, 23% voted for the likud (bibi).

I'm not talking about Likud alone; I'm talking about the right wing in general since they all seem to agree that they should steal Palestinian land for Lebensraum. Also I was specifically talking about his policies relating to Palestine, not as a whole.

Anyway I haven't seen any evidence that there's significant Israeli opposition against the genocide in Palestine, especially given that the Israeli right wing is actually growing.

And because he's been Israel's PM for about half the past 30 years. What I want to say is: Enough people like him that he keeps getting reelected, and even now people aren't objecting to his policies but rather because he wants to sidestep democracy. I mean good thing they're trying to defend "democracy" (it's debatable how much an Apartheid state where 5 million people don't have voting rights can call itself a democracy but that aside) but the fact that words like "war crime" or "genocide" don't appear even once in this article (except when talking about October 7th) is very damning.

Just saying, this is the same excuse Zionists use for why Palestinians should just give up and accept their fate.

True enough but let's not forget that there's a reason Netanyahu is called the king of Israeli politics. His policies represent a majority of Israel's voting popuation.
