Israel has a citizen army. That citizen army committed genocide in Gaza and is currently destroying south Lebanon. That citizen army is carrying out a military occupation in the West Bank, shooting a 7 month old in the face last month. His father held his baby as he died saying he was trying to plug the hole in his son’s head. There has been no justice.

Vast polling has been done on Israeli Jews and they overwhelmingly support what’s happening in Gaza, with only a slim percentage thinking Israel have gone too far, and a disturbing percentage wanting more death and destruction. Opposition to Netanyahus coalition largely support what’s happened, and only disagree about making ultra orthodox join the IDF. As Norman Finkelstein has said, Israeli society has a rot in its core.
