Israel’s Emerging Occupation Consensus Despite misgivings about Netanyahu’s Gaza plans, most Israelis support his approach to the Palestinians.

“When it comes to Israeli intransigence regarding Palestinians, the prime minister alone is not the problem,” argues @dahliasc.bsky.social. “The problem is Israeli society, politics, and culture as it has evolved over decades.”
