    Israel certainly does not represent Judaism. It is probably the greatest proponent of antisemitism today, in fact.

    But Israelis are actually this racist and genocidal, overall. They want even more blood. When they bimb more places approval ratings go up. The protests in the streets are about their loss of status, not ending the genocide. Their media is openly racist against Palestinians. Most Israelis believe media showing Palestinians in a sympathetic light should be censorship. They approve of the settlements and occupation. They approve of the genocide.

    This is because they are a settler colonial apaetheid nation. Their entire project is premised on the dusplacement and oppression of indigenous people. It is like South Africa. It is like the US. The settlers must feel entitled to their position and stolen land in order for that project to survive as designed, and as its economic position dictates, and so the society is taught to be racist by those larger forces. Taught to dehumanize. Taught to hate those they must later oppeess.
