Jesus fucking Christ, Israel just can't resist murdering more people, can it?
Israel's faschist government
Voted in multiple times over decades by Israel.
The genocide supported by the overwhelming majority of Israelis.
But sure let’s pretend it’s only Bibi to blame. All those children who assaulted the little girl in class for asking about the Palestinians? Nope not a deep rooted cultural phenomenon at all, it’s just Bibi.
the overwhelming majority of Israelis.
2022 election. Likud: 23.41%
Look up the index of peace by Tel Aviv University. It is an overwhelming majority; even opposition voters support the genocide.
I didn’t say Likud was supported by the majority.
Define what you meant, then. The coalition is marginally above half of votes cast.
The genocide supported by the overwhelming majority of Israelis.
I mean what I said, the majority of Israelis support the states genocidal “war”. The only large complaint they’ve ever had was “He’s not doing enough to reduce to the hostages”.
Quite literally yes, there are people in Bibis Coalition and cabinet who are so openly Fascist that even Israelis can't deny it. By Fascist I mean you have people like Ben Gvir who are very clearly Kahanists (Israeli mix of far-right militarism, ethnonationalism, and religious fundementalism). Keep in mind this is by Israeli standards, even according to them Bibis government is fascist (or at least fascist adjacent).
Israelis don't deny it, they fight it, with all the consequences.
Bibi needs to stay in power to stay out of jail. Gotta keep that war machine going!
This justification of the war because a single person is misleading. If people do not support him made it clear he wouldn't do it. It is like blaming hitler for nazi activity and pretending soldiers are following orders.
The same soldier who killed Press, Hostages waving white flags, shot babies in the head with sniper rifle, and throw bodies of the roof.
These people are not Bibi.
There are also the military aid by US, UK, and Germany. These are not Bibi.
They really want a full on war, don't they?
They know they have unlimited support from the US no matter what they do.
They want land. They will murder to get it.
One of these days they are going to attack the wrong people and guess who gets to bail them out.
It's a matter of time before someone gets fissionable materials inside the border... especially since they have less and less to lose each passing day.
Reminder that Israels war government (especially under Bibi) is bloodthirsty and desperate to keep their people distracted from how much their lives suck and the fact that their government has openly fascist politicans like Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich (I know, truly shocking /s).
A giant number. Very sad to see.
