No one here is dumb enough to think Likud is the problem

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 18 points 4 weeks ago

What Likud is absolutely part of the problem.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 35 points 4 weeks ago

Right, but they aren't The Problem. The entire "country" is rotten, top to bottom—Likud are practically centrists in Israel's Overton Window.

I don't know much about internal Israeli politics, but I do remember seeing polls of Israeli citizens showing the majority supports the genocide and some them think it needs to get worse :(

yeah PART. Remove Bibi and it doesn't get better. The problem is Israel from the bottom up, the problem is zionism as a project. Overselling Bibi is a liberal zionist talking point and covers for the genocidal acts the entire populace partakes in

Not Bibi, Likud as an institution. They've been vital in steering Israeli politics from apartheid towards extermination. The Sharon assassination, which wasn't done by a Likudnik because someone else got him first, was the last time there was a plausible off ramp of deescalation.

If Palestine ever wins in any capacity part of that is going to require neutralizing Likudniks to whatever extent is feasible.

The comment I was responding to was specifically saying Bibi. But also, no I don't think Likud should be separated from the rest of Israeli complicity. Likud being destroyed is necessary the same way destroying the NSPD was necessary to destroying the Reich, but I wouldn't say the Nazi party was the central evil that must be destroyed in that fight. That sentiment borders on clean Wehrmacht. All Israeli parties are genocidal and must be neutralized for Palestine to win. People like we are talking about use Bibi and Likud as a scapegoat.
