If they voted for Netanyahu they asked for it, and I have no sympathy.

The rest would do the same.
As they always have proven their entire miserable history.
Singling out Netanyahoo is Bernie the sheepdog's tactics of dammage control

Blaming the government in power and those who put them in power for the actions taken by the government is totally reasonable.

You're suggesting well "what about a hypothetical government that doesn't exist huh?". That doesn't matter. They don't exist. Blame the government

Every government before him was the same, they're not 'hypothetical'. Ridiculous argument.
What doesn't exist is a reality where the next government isn't brutally mistreating Palestine.
Your hasbara is weak

First let's settle one thing, Israel has no right to exist. I'm against assuming 100% of the populace is all for the genocide. The majority government and their supporters clearly are.

The apartheid state of Israel needs to end. The genocide needs to be stopped by any means, except a genocide in return.

The entire majority government and their supporters can hang.

I'm not going to condem the rest for a "thought" crime they didn't commit. Maybe they would have done the same thing, maybe not.

I hope you are being naive.

Plenty of jews outside the apartheid state are against it.
Those that live there, wether bcs of propaganda or a superiority complex don't.
Maybe 5 to 10% maximum have normal views.
You know what they say about people trying the same thing and expecting different results.

Israel didn't become an apartheid genocidal occupation of Palestinian land under Netanyahu. It's has been since its founding.

You're suggesting we close our eyes and pretend their entire history doesn't matter, that we just blame the current figurehead and his (variable but typically increasingly few) direct supporters.

Well I'm glad all of your elected officials represent your views and morals.

The majority of Israelis supports the genocide of the Palestinians according to surveys and more than half of jewish Israelis support attacking Iran even without US support.
