    Let me get this straight…

    Are you really claiming that the entire population of Israel- all 9.5 million people- share exactly the same opinion on Palestine?

    Because that would be incredibly fucking bigoted of you, so I want to make sure that’s what you’re saying.

        How many people have you actually heard from? Let’s say percentagewise- what percentage of the 9.5 million Israelis have you heard from to determine that there is no dissent?

            I can acknowledge that many of the protesters are not about stopping that. I cannot acknowledge that there is no one there protesting genocide. I would like to see evidence to that effect. If they are anything like the many anti-war protests I have attended, there is a wide range of opinions amongst the protesters beyond “end the war.”

            I have not talked to the thousands of people protesting. I do not know what they all think. Or even what most of them think.

            Now, please tell me what percentage of the 9.5 million Israelis you have heard from to determine that there is no dissent inside Israel.

                I have asked you a question twice now. You said you would answer it. You did not.

                But the protestors are being clear about what they are protesting about.

                Let’s reduce my question to just the people protesting: out of the thousands, what percentage of them have you actually heard from about why they are protesting?

                    You edited your post after I replied to you in order to answer my question and claim I’m the one not arguing in good faith?

                    The fact is you have no idea what most of the 9.5 million Israelis think. You just pretend you do. Which is bigoted.

                    Also, by repeatedly referring to the diaspora, you are also implying that Israelis and Jews are the same thing. Which is also bigoted.
