Israel really needs a new government, even more than the US… Those in power are insane, and they’re clearly not representative of their entire nationality yet they put their own citizens in a bad light.
Kind of like the prejudice towards general German population after World War 2, which still lives in the minds of some politicians.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure some even crazier lobbyist multi billionaires are behind all of this, and figures like Netanyahu or Trump are probably their puppets.

How does anyone still believe this? We’ve seen plenty of support for genocide from the average Israeli, not even going into how many of them openly mock their Palestinian victims.
Both Nazi Germany and Israel function as they do because they support the financial interests of a critical mass of their people. Germany was imperialist-capitalist and Israel is settler-colonial.
The idea that people were tricked or hypnotized by Hitler is an obfuscation of real history, notably his wide support among the bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie. It fundamentally misunderstands how power works, as if a single person can sieze power and bend society to their will.
In a single country, the government has to carefully mediate contradicting class interests to stay in power. In simple capitalist society, that means subverting the interests of the working class in favor of the owning class. But subvert too much and the working class will overthrow the government.
Imperialism and colonialism complicate this dynamic by externalizing the contradictions, essentially shifting a critical mass of the burden of class society onto different subjects in underdeveloped countries. The influx of resources and outflow of costs often ends up benefitting the local working class enough that many of them align with their local owning class. That’s how you can get 50%+ of a population supporting an expansionist warmonger.
Settler colonialism is a particularly heightened version of this dynamic, where the majority of people considered citizens directly and materially benefit from the stolen land and resources of the people they’re colonizing. That’s how you can get 90%+ support of an active genocide.

95% of Israelis agree with the genocide of Palestinian’s or don’t think the government has gone far enough
really? Have you like, seen some polls out of Israel showing this? Or is this just meaningless vibes.
I am German and i can say from direct experience that this wasn’t a prejudice, but a justified asessment.
