Despite a genocide and multiple wars, analysts say the issues determining October’s elections fall far closer to home.

Analysts, sociologists and pollsters all seem to agree that the forthcoming Israeli general elections, due to be held on October 27, are critical.

In the past, a typical fault line between Israel’s right and liberal wings during the election season was future dealings with the Palestinians. Today, there is near-universal animosity towards the Palestinians and the prospect of a two-state solution.

This is what a country radicalized into Genocide looks like. The conversation has been skillfully framed so that the humanity of Palestinians never comes into the discussion when arguments happen in the halls of power in Israel.
