Looking at the protests against him in Israel I think many if not most Israelis don't want this campaign of violence. For many years I've felt sorry for all the civilians in that area, because they are trying to live their lives and extremist assholes on all sides keep killing them.

Settlers can go fuck themselves though.

Absolutely. They are extremist assholes.

The protests aren't against his policy of genocide in Palestine.

They are against his government in general and started before his campaign of terror and I have seen no poll that would suggest sudden approval. So we can safely assume the protesters include that in their disapproval of him and his government of fascist cunts.

The protests happened after but they don't seem to advocate a change in that campaign of terror, just different people carrying it out. The far right dominates Israeli politics and it's all about which flavor of far right is preferred.

There were protests even before October, because a large portion of Israelis hates that government.

But, again, not for the treatment of Palestinians.

What is your point? That all Israelis fully support the wholesale slaughter the IDF is committing? It seems so weird and pointless to continue to argue about this.

I responded to someone claiming that there have been protests against this campaign of violence. It's useful to know where everybody stands to know who would be willing to move toward peace.
