If this is the typical Israeli sentiment, then I might have to change my opinion on Israeli people. Since this genocide began, I blamed Netanyahu and the IDF. As more and more horrible things come from the mouths of Israeli citizens about this conflict, I’m starting to feel that the Israeli people…are not good people. This is disgusting behavior, and the apparent fact that there’s no protests over there…no shame, no public outcries. Nothing…that they must be okay with this. They must be okay with the broken bodies of children and babies. That it’s okay as long it’s the children of the “other”. Our company has fully stopped all contracts and refuses to do business with any Israeli company. May they feel the same pain and suffering that they inflict on others.
This is actually pretty typical, yes. As ethnic supremacist settler colonists, they are much like the Boers of South Africa, the racist whites that maintain their position through apartheid and racial violence. They call all Palestinians “terrorist” as an epithet. They call little kids that were shot by the IOF terrorists. To them it is not a desceiption of political violence, it is just a racial reference for the people they oppress and hate.
Re: Netanyahu, the protests against him are about their loss of status, to demand the hostages back, to demand he give them more blood, not to end the genocide. Every time a new campaign from Israel launches, Bibi’s ratings go up. When they bomb a university in Gaza, his ratings go up. When they bomb a hospital in Lebanon, his ratings go up. When they start pogroms in the West Bank, his ratings go up. When they announce a new concentration camp plan for North Gaza, his ratings go up. When that Israeli rapist, caught on video, of Palestinians was identified and jailed, they broke him out of jail and out him on a media tour where he was praised. The charges were dropped in response. Much of the violence against Palestinians is carried out by everyday settlers that arm themselves and shoot Palestinians from their settlements or by entering Palestinian neighborhoods and doing pogroms. Such people are often the shock troops for new land grabs or other forms of occupation.
