You say,

Israeli society has collapsed morally.

All of it? The entire Israeli society?

Your next sentence:

Genocidal sentiment in Israel IS mainstream.

The only evidence you offer are the words of a former head of Israeli intelligence. How is this proof that

genocidal sentiment in Israel IS mainstream?

Next, you dismiss the many Israelis participating in protests as self-serving liars. You say the protests

have nothing to do with the suffering of Palestinians...

How do you know that? Have you questioned each and every Israeli protester? You state that none of them care about Palestinians. What about the IDF soldier who made this video? What about the DUers who state that they are Israelis, who frequently criticize the war and advocate for Palestinians?

Your final paragraph sounds to me like you consider Israel's people to be so morally degenerate that Israel itself should cease to exist.

If I am mistaken please clarify your meaning.

Thanks for the Turkish, British perspective. Mosby Aug 18 #3

The only thing that matters: is the information correct? n/t Uncle Joe Aug 18 #4

It's opinion. Mosby Aug 18 #5

900 Israeli soldiers committing suicide since October of 23 isn't an opinion, Uncle Joe Aug 18 #6

This message was self-deleted by its author Mosby Aug 18 #7

28 suicides not 900. Mosby Aug 18 #8

My mistake, I read the total number of killed as suicides, however if you google it the number is 50-54, and Uncle Joe Aug 18 #10

If it is so easy to Google would you please provide a link. sheshe2 Aug 18 #14

I corrected it with the post that you're responding to. "My mistake" etc. Uncle Joe Aug 18 #15

Yet, no correction on the original post that people are recommending as fact. sheshe2 Aug 18 #16

There is nothing written in the OP or the video that you are able to cite as being incorrect. Furthermore Uncle Joe Aug 18 #17

I am talking about posts 6-9 sheshe2 Aug 18 #18

Again post 10 was the correction. Uncle Joe Aug 18 #19
