What choice is there?

The large majority of them were born and raised there, and some of them truly want peace and prosperity. If their democracy were functioning well then cruel people like Netanyahu would not be able to cling to power for so long, and especially not after his trials.

To ask every Israeli to leave or die is not different than the gaza genocide.

    Well just because apartheid south Africa or nazi Germany got dismantled it doesn’t mean that everyone living there suddenly ceased to exist.

    A state is an imaginary construct and as such can cease to exist without the actual human being‘s phyiscal existence being affected by that.

    It’s a logical fallacy to equate these two things and justify the existence of a settler colonial entity through that.

    "The entire concept of" South Africa and Germany still exist. The comment you made above says

    Israel is a colonialist entity committing crimes against humanity such as but not limited to genocide and apartheid fuck 100% the entire concept of it.

    Implying you think it and its people should stop existing.

    Yes, but only one of the two is happening irl, the other one is a hypothetical.

    Also hippies protested more in the USA against Vietnam killings. I'm not sure what options they have in Israel, but I never heard about mass opposition to what their country & taxes are doing.

    And the people do bare some responsibly for what their country is doing - it's more than just participating in a society to survive when you are living well & not in a warzone.

    There ARE massive protests in Israel about this specific topic. It just doesn't make the news for obvious reasons, kinda like the absolutely gigantic protests here in the US don't make the news.
