@faab64 The Government could not do what it has been doing for decades, if the people did not vote for them. @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@a.gup.pe @israel
Well, that depends. I'm not familiar with the voting system in Israel but in the US for example it makes no sense and barely represents the people. So I wouldn't claim something lije that so quickly.
And we already know that tgere is a big divide in the coubtry about Netanyahu, so I doubt they have a very representative election process.
Support for the genocide is pretty universal across the Israeli political spectrum, outside of Arab Israelis. Netanyahu is divisive because he's corrupt, not because of the genocide.
@Tooden @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@a.gup.pe @israel
Exactly, in a democracy, when people keep chosing fascists, it is no longer the fault of the few by the failure of the society. Even if the extremists are few, they get enough support among the masses to keep getting elected and protect the criminal extremists.
