2. I agree. Israeli society has collapsed morally.

Genocidal sentiment in Israel IS mainstream. Look at the former head of Israeli military intelligence, who said for every Israeli killed on October 7th, 50 Palestinians must die for the sake of future Israeli generations. And that a Nakba must be inflicted repeatedly to teach a lesson.

The protests yesterday, and the morale problem in the IDF, have nothing to do with concern for the suffering of Palestinians or the crimes committed against them. Rather, it's a revolt against Netanyahu himself and his self-serving interests at the cost of the hostages' lives.

As he says, a moral and ethical collapse is the price of long-term occupation and it has been happening for many years, long before October 7th. I would add long-term impunity also is a factor. Accountability - consequences - is long overdue. It really is the only thing that will stop this genocide.
