This is nothing new. Liberals have always done this throughout history. They put all the blame on individuals to cover up the root cause of these constantly reoccuring wars and genocides.

Netanyahu isn't the problem.

Israel is. The West is. Imperialism is. Capitalism is.

Israelis are well aware of the genocide. And they support it

Yes, brainwashed like all zionists (MAGAs) by zionist (right wing) media which show the Palestinians (Mexicans) as animals. Average people are herd animals and easy to manipulate with patriotic BS speaks, flags, religion and fears of an invented enemy. Same recipe since centuries.

This is not simply a matter of morals. Israel was created from a land grab, making enemies on all sides. And Israel was created to be a nation-state of Jews both in religion and also in ethnicity. Israels own existence as a project depends on creating an ethno-religious hegemony in the region and they can't tolerate the existence of other peoples being the majority in the land. Not only that, but they can't even rely on the birthrate of the current Israeli population, they need to bring migrants to become settlers until they become a majority. Settlers want land and jobs

Imagine if Germany had a ethno-nationalist project where they had to guarantee an ethnical superiority with very strict national values, and they had to deal with a bunch of different ethnicities in their own territory and in the neighborhood of their territory, what would have happened? What destiny would take the Jews, Romani, Polish, Czech, Slavs, Communists, Socialists, and other religious minorities?

Average people are not outright exterminationist. Except in Israel.

Yeah that's typically the result of a fascist government.

I understand where you're coming from, but I highly recommend you read Masses, Elites and Rebels.
