I think people who don’t live there underestimate how radicalized the average Israeli has become: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-comedy-cellar-live-from-the-table/id1092965609?i=1000652870006
The next-generation of children might be even more so.

I have close relatives in Israel. The left isn't what it once was and the far right has come out from under the rock it had long been placed under, just as is the case here in the US.
But don't mistake volume for either numbers or wider support.
The massive anti-government street protests before 10/7 and now make that clear.
Just as 9/11 seemed to tilt the US to the right but didn't, so too the anger and trauma of 10/7 may make Israel look tilted right, but it's not.
Misuse Case@joeinwynnewood @paninid @heidilifeldman There’s a lot of impetus on much of the U.S. left to say that all Israelis are on board with oppressing and slaughtering Palestinians (even though they aren’t) and I suspect it has something to do with a lot of people showing their assess by celebrating Hamas attacks, saying Jewish Israelis are settlers who should be driven off the land, etc. and not wanting to come to terms with it.

I'll go with there's a lot of ignorance of the myriad complexities of the long history of the Levant that will persist for the great majority of people making it easy for them to draw ahistorical and incorrect conclusions.
@joeinwynnewood @MisuseCase @heidilifeldman
Agreed.
As an #American, the reason I have empathy for Israelis - or anyone in the Levant who aren’t terrible people - is I can imagine what it would feel like to be governed by a sociopath.
It would probably feel like a second Trump administration.
That would suck.
I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
