    Israel wanted this to happen. The US wasn’t the only warning they got.

    And the civilians are the ones who suffer.

      Israel

      No, the Netanyahu regime wanted it to happen. We hold leaders responsible for their own decisions, rather than blaming a nationality.

          23.41% of the electorate voted for Likud in the last election.

          The right wing bloc led by Netenyahu did not win a majority of votes in the election either.

          In part due to a rule change, a few smaller anti-Netenyahu parties didn’t gain enough votes to meet the electoral threshold, which is why Netenyahu’s bloc gained a majority in the Knesset despite gaining less than 50% of the vote.

            Israelis have been voting for increasingly far right politicians for years. The plain truth is that many of them are extremely comfortable with their government’s brutal treatment of the Palestinians. I’m certainly not attacking every Israeli voter, many don’t support their countries’ policies but enough do for it to continue.

            I said “keep voting”, the majority see nothing wrong with Bibi’s treatment of the Palestinians, although they’ll be calling for blood after his failure to keep them safe.

            The US kicked the tires on a Trump presidency and decided one term was more than enough.
