    Mayhaps the people of Israel aren’t a hive mind and different groups want different things?

    Is it possible that many of want aid entering and work hard for it to flow into Gaza, while others violently oppose it?

      Of course. If only Palestinian society was afforded the same amount of nuance.

      He said israel is a terrorist state. This means the government. And the policies of said government.

      The people are not the government.

        But the people are largely in support of the government, even if they are not in support of the specific members of the current government, although the voted them into power repeatedly.

        Meanwhile the few Israelis that speak out against this are getting attacked by their countrymen. Especially practicing Jews who speak out for Palestine are brutally beaten up. Of course the West does not acknowledge this rampant antisemitism.
