      It’s a feedback loop.

      The more the government supports this, the more far right extremists immigrate and vote for stuff like this to happen.

      Lots of Jewish people don’t support Israeli actions, but they don’t have a say unless they take Israeli citizenship.

      So you get a constant stream of far right extremists who aren’t tired of constant war.

      Meanwhile the last time Gaza got to vote was 17 years ago. When most current residents if Gaza weren’t even born yet old enough to vote.

        Also there has been a huge growth of vote for the far-right in Israel over a span of decades because the highly-educated types with Western values who more likely to have a Western kind of principles or even be lefties, have 1 or 2 kids like people in the West do, whilst the ultra-orthodox who are the most racist and far-right of all have lots of kids.

        It’s ‘funny’ (but not in a “haha” way) because the reason for not making the Palestinians become Israelis when their land was occupied was that they had lots of children which would, in a democratic nation, end up electing the “wrong kind of people”.
