      “While Israel has the right to go after Hamas, Netanyahu’s right-wing extremist government does not have the right to wage almost total warfare against the Palestinian people,” the Vermont senator said in a statement.

      Seems like his views on this are pretty much aligned with that of typical israelis.

          idk about a majority…There was a massive protest outside Netanyahu’s house.

          Israeli’s are bombing their own civilians that are being held hostage right now. They are killing their own as if they are disposable.

            Well I’m sure the families of the hostages aren’t super happy about the way the war is being waged, but I wonder about the others. He did get voted in, and a lot more legitimately than Hamas in Gaza which was years before half their population was old enough to vote.

              Well Trump, Putin and Hitler also were voted in.

              But I doubt the majority would vote for them again given the chance.

          I have to admit that I do not know. Probably not? How they think about it currently might be a bit different from how they thought about it 2 months ago.

          My understanding is that they’re pretty displeased with both Hamas and Netanjahu’s government and are mostly blaming both for the current catastrophe.

        And yet that’s the same view that has had people screaming about anti-semitism for the past month.
