It is important to note that the government had majority approval. The settlers annexing the Westbank was continuud by every single government of the past 30 years, even the “progressive” ones. The relentless attacks on Gaza had and have majority approval in polls.

Removing Netanyahu is a first step, but Israeli society seriously needs to work through a lot of things for its “normal” to become in accordance with international law and basic principles of ethics and moral.

This applies to every State vs the people who happen to live in the so-called borders claimed by that State

Unless they’re laying down in front of military vehicles and physically defending against settler violence their words don’t mean much.

The Israeli left has been advocating for peace for the last 57 years and losing ground because of it so don’t hold your breath.

I hope so too.

With a strong enough swell of support from Israelis, the need to work with Netanyahu to maintain our reputation of standing by our allies and maintaining some leverage over the Israeli government would evaporate. It’d create room for a strong pivot that would still allow us to plausibly threaten Netanyahu with consequences, maintaining his inability to finish his ethnic cleansing goals.

Needs a lot of people though, enough to give some plausible cover to what could otherwise be perceived as a betrayal of an established alliance. We could say we’re still standing with the Israelis, though, look, here’s their signatures. The rest of them are clearly traumatized and not in their right senses.

I don’t think we’d need a majority of their population to sign or anything, but a lot for sure.
