    Netanyahu is. The Israeli public is highly racist, but much less enthusiastic about total war than Bibi. Unfortunately, they don’t get a say. This isn’t a democracy.

      The people are damningly complicit with their leaders and killing others.

      It is telling the world a very dangerous message.

        I wanna push back on that.

        Israel has a population of 5.2 million people, and 2 million of them are Arab Muslims.

        The representation of Israel that we see in their media and culture is a reflection of Apartheid. It erases the presence and will of literally millions of people who are the target of the brutality that we’re talking about.

        Ok, Dumbass, what do you propose people actually do to help, huh? Protest? That hasn’t been working. Vote for someone who literally has .001% chance of winning? Write some more snarky comments? What amazing idea do you have to actually get this stopped

      Tons of Israelis are critical of Netanyahu and don’t want this anymore than most Americans wanted trump.
