I think you're right. I hope some of that message gets through to those Israeli people who actually do want a ceasefire.

The polling I've seen suggests the Israeli people are bloodthirsty as fuck.

1.8% said they believed the IDF was using too much fire power, while 4.2% said they weren’t sure whether it was using too much or too little firepower.

Support for peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority among Israeli Jews fell from 47.6% in favor in September to just 24.5% in favor in the survey conducted between Oct. 23 and Oct. 28.

Note that the Palestinian Authority is the comprador gov't of the west bank. These people don't even want Israel to negotiate with their own puppets.

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

they ran the same poll in January and the results were basically the same

That survey was less than a month after it happened.

It wouldn’t have surprised me if it had been higher.
