I figure some Israelis can live in peace with their Palestinian neighbors and should be allowed to do so--but I doubt it's more than 10%. I suspect one reason Israelis are so Zionist is self-selection; young Israelis who are uncomfortable with apartheid and discrimination get the hell out, leaving behind those who are fine with it, and newcomers who think it's great to live in a place where their identity group is acknowledged to be the Master Race. Polls have shown the vast majority in Israel are onboard with the genocide. This is not some genetic, hardwired thing--humans are herd animals and most are very influenced by those around them.
exactly. especially when those around them are indoctrinating them with a specific ideology. they are "so zionist" because the indoctrination starts as soon as they are born.
