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.

Israels occupation of Gaza and the west bank is wrong.

But, where are you getting this 90% figure? Highest I could find was 65%. Not that any support is acceptable.

Or are we just taking instagram memes on face value?

It feels like this meme is really trying to encourage hate for people just based on where they were born.

"Look guys, I think the apartheid and genocide is not great, but it's wrong to say it's not the sole fault of Netanyahu, with the rest of Israel being innocent and good!"

Never said any Israeli was good.

Just asked for a source for the stat provided in the OP. Given such source that 9/10 support the IDF. I could easily agree thats it would be safe to assume that any given Israeli is faschist.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Well you've been given that source now

So you think the rest of their occupation is okay? I can see where you're confused then.

My gripe was with a post that provided unbacked statistics seemingly to encourage hate based on country of origin.

No need to be passive aggressive, I didn't justify any occupation in my comment.

I believe you as well are against needless hate of people based on things they can't control, like where they were born.

"Hate based on country of origin": don't worry, just think that all the Israelis you've ever met and will ever meet have ever been and will ever be against Israel's colonial expansion.

Could you post your sources?

This is the main poll I saw quoted around when searching.

https://jcfa.org/survey-most-israelis-want-to-see-military-rule-in-gaza-the-day-after/

the current poll indicates a clear Israeli majority (64%) opposed to establishing a Palestinian state

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

64% is not over 90%

Its also a case of polling Germans under the Nazis government vs what their true thoughts are.

The reality is that German support for the Nazis policies rarely went over the 35-40% level. The majority were just forced to go along with it.

Still, just like with the Germans, it will be a hell of a job rabilitating that society.

Nazi Germany was a fascist country where you would get tortured for opposing the genocide of jews. Israel is different.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

israel's government has also been around a significant bit longer than nazi germany's was. that gives time to indoctrinate entire generations.

like, i grew up in statesia. i'll be picking the propaganda out of my history education my entire life (and i studied the damn subject for a bit. long, irrelevant story) and it's not fun. it's less fun being unaware tho.

It is on you if you got propagandized to support genocide and killing infants

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

you're the only one claiming propaganda absolves you of your actions.
