What about the average Israeli citizen? Are they like Netanyahu or different?
I used to think they had to be different. In Pakistan, we love Imran Khan while he sits in jail on fabricated charges. That shows leadership does not always reflect the people.
But Norman Finkelstein disagrees when it comes to Israel. This is the same person who called Gaza a concentration camp long before others saw it. Today we recognize it as genocide. He has been right before.
Finkelstein says Netanyahu is not just the face of Israeli society. He is its reality.
I want to believe people are fundamentally good. But someone could ask me about Nazi Germany. Was the majority of the population not fine with what was done to a religious group?
The answer I want and the answer that is true are not always the same.
