@TruthSandwich @dung_eater @palestine @NoFlexZone @argumento @HistoPol @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero Just chiming in to say that no one Israeli politician (even Netanyahu) caused this. This would likely be happening even if he had lost the election because Israel is a colonial ethno-state and the logic of its existence requires it to maintain a genocidal position of dominance. https://decolonizepalestine.com/myth/netanyahu-is-the-problem/

But, besides that, a prime motivator for the ever-increasing right-wing politics in Israel is literally that Israel has been allowing Israelis to force Palestinians out of their homes for years. Just taking over the property with either the covert or overt support of the IDF.. At a purely economic level, it is in the average Israeli person's interest to maintain this kind of violence because someone else's blood is the cheapest way to buy land. It's no surprise that it's trivial to find Israeli sources talking about Palestinians like they're not people. If the people stealing their land considered them people, they might have qualms about stealing the land.

Oh and, even outside of confrontations with Hamas, Israel is a world leader in weapons design. How do they test those designs? By using them on Palestinians. See, for example, the AI turrets designed to identify and shoot Palestinians with less-lethal weapons. See also their yeyars of using of fully-AI drones for war, including during the ongoing conflict. You want to talk about how they need to be better about reducing casualties? They could start with stopping firing self-piloting rockets into Gaza indiscriminately; does it SOUND reasonable that these rockets could reliably choose to target a Hamas militant instead of a civilian?
