If the Israeli public had an honest discourse, they would pick peace over the perpetual terror their government creates. It takes a lot of proganda to make people vote against their own interests. Just remember all the American support the 2nd Iraq war started at only for that to collapse as people realized the Bush administration was loaded with war criminals.
It's a little different because as far as Israel is concerned, this war is normal. It's an extension of the status quo that Israel as a country and a people has already accepted since 1949 and never changed it since, not when they elected Netanyahu in 1996, not when they kept reelecting him for 20 years. And support for the right wing is rising, not falling. That's different in America because in America a war in the Middle East is not the status quo. If you wanna compare compare to Native Americans and European settlers.
What I'm trying to say is: If we wait for Israelis to realize that genocide is bad on their own, the best we'll get is some crocodile tears and an apology from their Lebensraum to what few Palestinians remain after they successfully genocide them. Don't expect much from the Israeli public on that front; these people want their Zion.
Israel is an American project with a weird caveat, their government is allowed to influence our elections to send tens of billions in aid back to Israel.
That will ultimately be their downfall when that money dries up. People revolt when their lifestyle drops significantly. An isolated IDF can't afford to genecide both Muslim and Jew.
