More than 2,000 Israelis have signed this letter, published in 11 languages, asking the international community to use ‘every possible sanction’ to ‘save us from ourselves’
I agree with you on most of what you said. That being said America’s problem isn’t that the “good” ones are a minority. It’s that they are made a minority due to the mechanics and inner workings of the electoral college. If i were to tske this war as example, over 2/3rds of Americans want to enforce a ceasefire. Israel on the other hand, has an actual majority saying this war is good and the Palestinians need to die. My original comment was simply saying that I wish there were more people in Israel willing to speak up and fight back against this. But majority of the protestors are only protesting for the hostages to be back or to stabilize the economy. They don’t care about the human rights violations their country does on a daily basis. And why should they? Their entire existence is predicated on it and they benefit from it greatly. These are some of the few protestors actually protesting the right things.
They wanted a way to launder the votes of their slaves and this worked.
The real problem is that a sane majority will lose to a fanatic minority every single time. The only counterexample I can see is the American civil war, and it was close.
Us sane people simply have too much meaningful shit to worry about, which is why we didn’t care about civil rights until the 60s.
Once the terror has died down in Israel there’s a chance we can have a discussion, but I doubt it, the right will take credit, their narrative is that the weak opposition couldn’t do what was necessary, therefore they must keep power for the good of Israel.
And nobody will fight them because they are fucking insane, last time they assassinated the PM, Bibi himself got power for inciting that.
You can’t fight crazy, you get hurt and they get aroused.
I’m not saying there’s no solution, I’m saying there’s no simple or easy solution.

I agree.
The system is broken because the minority wanted it designed broken: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Madison/01-10-02-0065
