There’s no doubt that a good chunk of the population does want Netanyahu to kill even more Palestinians. These people didn’t start protesting over their actions against the Palestinians. So once they have the hostages it’s a safe assumption that they will stop protrsting and demanding a ceasefire.
If what you’re saying is true then there would have been protests of this magnitude the moment the news started coming out about what the IDF is doing.
Sorry… you’re saying it is true that Israel is a hive mind and there is 100% agreement on the genocide in Palestine or else just as many people would have protested at the beginning?
I have no doubt in my mind that there exists some Israelis that are kind and compassionate and are completely willing to coexist with the Palestinians. But those people will always be in the minority. We’re talking about a country whose whole existence is based on the displacement and eradication of the native population. The genocide of the Palestinians started long before Oct 7th. The only thing that has changed is how quickly it’s happening.
Then, again, it is not a safe assumption that protesting will stop.
All saying things like that does is discourage internal opposition when it should be encouraged.
What do you think it would feel like if you spent a year doing everything to protest your country committing genocide and everyone just decided you didn’t exist?
When describing the actions of a country, the minority who oppose those actions are not relevant. At the end of the day hostages or no hostages the Israeli nation will continue it’s eradication of Palestinians as well as executing journalists and aid workers to help silence their actions. That is a fact that is based on plenty of past events.
I really do appreciate it when people speak up against the wrong actions of their nation, especially when they are in the minority. Based on your comments it sounds like you might be one of them, and if that’s the case it says a lot about your character. I’m just sorry your voice and the voice of others isn’t enough in this case.

No that is not a safe assumption. They are not a hive mind.

I’m saying a significant portion of the Israelis would have been protesting from the beginning if they cared about the Palestinians.
Okay, but no one said that a significant portion of Israelis were against it. This is what you said:
That is only true if every single person protesting feels that way. And that would only be true if they were a hive mind.
Some Israelis have been protesting since the beginning of the war. Yes, they are not huge in number, but they exist. Were you even aware of that?
