The Israeli military has desecrated at least 16 cemeteries in its ground offensive in Gaza, a CNN investigation has found, leaving gravestones ruined, soil upturned, and, in some cases, bodies unearthed.
The average Israeli citizen has been fed propaganda that rivals Russia since day one framing all their nations actions as defensive and necessary. And (broadly speaking) until this war only a few states would argue against this.
It also goes deeper than I initially knew, and Israeli schools and Israeli media fully include Gaza and the west bank wholly as part of Israeli, leading to a belief it is “occupied” by Palestinians, as well as teaching and reporting on Palestine only as terrorists, while enforcing this apartheid state.
So you have now generations of Israelis raised on this, gleefully committing war crimes because they believe it is rightful and just because the Palestinians are all Hamas. Yes even the children.
The level of Propaganda and how successful it has been is horrifying. This was the deliberate goal of the extreme Zionists in Israel, and their success means horrifying things for the world.
But shouldn’t the people who live in the west bank have a better idea? Probably not a big enough to influence elections but I have also heard that Palestinians in west bank are regularly abused by Israeli civilians
Israelis who live in the West Bank are settlers. These are people who burn down Palestinians’ homes/shoot them and take their land, or children of those people. Not exactly the most moral demographic.
The West Bank settlers who are old enough yes, but many of the last 30 years have lived in a reality where they are “reclaiming” “historic” Israel by doing this. And they view it through a righteous lens, which is reinforced explicitly by religious Zionism as well. So they are mean or cruel to Palestinians, who they view as “squatters”.
Despite the lack of historical basis for any of this. The propaganda has gone deep, and by being infused with the official state religion, you wind up being unable to challenge any of it without yourself being labeled as self-hating or anti-semetic. It’s a gordian knot of persecution that the deeply conservative Israeli Zionist have intentionally made.
It has so far been so effective that it has taken sustained war crimes and tragedy for over 3 months with live video evidence to even begin to chip away at in Jewish communities that maybe the Israeli Government and the faith shouldn’t be talked about as the same thing.
You say “but” as if you’re disagreeing with the parent commenter, but you’re talking about the same thing.
His two sentences weren’t drawing a distinction between “settlers” and some other group attacking Palestinians; he was saying that the settlers are the ones attacking Palestinians.

Many are not as brainwashed as you make it seem.
