afaik the leading opposition is a centrist Yashar! party led by Gadi Eisenkot who does not acknowledge Gaza being a genocide and mostly same on Gaza though does acknowledge that Israeli settler terrorists need to be stopped. So it seems like a mild improvement at best?
After October 7 it will be at least a decade before Israel can come out of bunker mentality. You might be ignoring how horrific the actions of Hamas were on that day. I admit I couldn’t get though all of the horrific things they did that day, it was insane. But Israelis are well aware of what happened. Having millions of people typing on the internet sympathizing with Hamas probably doesn’t help in getting them out of the bunker mentality. We’re still a long way from the truth and reconciliation that’s needed, but any step in that direction (even a baby step) is something that should be welcomed.
I don’t want to see another Gaza war in a decade or two. We’ve already seen how that works out, it doesn’t go well for anyone, especially for Palestinians. But on the internet it’s just a constant thirst for more violence, as long as it’s someone other than the person posting the comments that’s going to die because of it.
Social media is all emotional manipulation all the time. Are you capable of thinking of the Gaza war in rational terms or only in emotional terms? Why is it you can only think of it as an emotional issue?
The social media algorithms send you a constant stream of content that keeps you emotional all the time. They aren’t trying to inform you of anything, they want to keep you emotional so you’ll keep on doomscrolling so they can keep on showing you ads.
You’ll never know what’s happening in a conflict on the other side of the world. You’ll only get curated emotional content. That doesn’t result in any kind of understanding.
Constantly consuming this kind of content will turn you into a hateful person. The tech bros don’t care, as long as you keep consuming, they keep making money.

I don’t think this one is a fault of the internet tbh
