That’s manifestly incorrect. A pew poll conducted in march/april 2024 found that 39% of israelis believe the actions of the IDF in Gaza were “about right”, and 34% think those actions have “not gone far enough”. I’m no mathematician, but 73% is not quite a minority afaik.
In addition, in a nation that is at least a democracy for the superior race, I think it’s fair to lay at least some of the blame on the electorate for the governments they elect. And for 77 years, every single government they have elected have committed atrocity after atrocity against the Palestinian people. I find it highly unlikely that for three quarters of a century, in a partial democracy, some minority has always won, every single time, despite the good intentions of the majority. It’s just a completely incredible narrative.
