Yup, I agree. Same for the Israelis who want peace shouldn’t be pushing for settlement and subjugation of the Palestinian state. Extremists on both sides don’t want to compromise on their visions.
Yeah, if I wasn't abroad for my PhD I'd be voting for the Labor Party this election. They've got a new party head who's taking a stronger stand against Netanyahu and the pro-settlement Right than the other parties.
I do really wish my people's country could come up in the news without people breaking out in Zionism Derangement Syndrome in the comments, insisting genocide refugees are colonizers and racism is when we don't force minorities to fight in the army if they don't support the state. It brings to mind that academic crank who once said Israeli soldiers are racist for not raping Palestinian women. This kind of ZDS is why Netanyahu keeps winning -- it's all Israelis and Jews hear from people in other countries, and it affects our discourse.
