Or, even better, the beginning of Isreal’s transformation into a country where people see through the bullshit of the far-right and elect decent leaders, leaving Netanyahu to rot in prison.
A lot of Israelis are blaming Netanyahu for the war, the Supreme Court of Israel struck down his constitutional reform, and thanks to him Israel can no longer take the support of their oldest allies completely for granted. The relationship between the US and Israel was already at an all-time low before all this thanks to Netanyahu being a piece of shit.
Of course, there’s also the flip side of the coin: Netanyahu has always had a fear based platform, and the political climate lends itself well to that at the moment. There’s always a rally behind the flag effect, and elections are still far away. So even if he loses the next election in a landslide that might be too late. Frankly it has been too late for many years already.
So all in all I agree in not being incredibly optimistic.
You’re right. Given demographic changes in the US, I do think it’s only a matter of time before most Americans consider Israel to be an albatross around their necks.
Hope this is the beginning of Israel’s transformation into an isolated and boycotted rogue state.

Going by the general trend around the world lately, that’s a very unlikely outcome.

It’s a nice thought, but until US policy changes, Israel is bulletproof.

I’ve disliked Israel govt for decades. Fuck Bibi and the IDF.
Can you seperate Bibi and the current government from the Israeli people and it’s potential to elect a moderate government?
What is the general public opinion in Israel? Any large number of Israelis opposed to this genocide?
It’s not a genocide and no there is massive support for this war against Hamas.
Is this your professional opinion as an expert in international law, or?
Yes.
