The entire Israeli political spectrum is united in blasting Netanyahu for not continuing to attack Iran, and Israeli society agrees. The reason, to put it simply, is that Israelis are war junkies.
From Mondoweiss via This RSS Feed.
The poll they cite only polled 500 people and the "Israel Democracy Institute" who conducted the poll was founded by a Trump mega donor.
Mondoweiss loses credibility by releasing this article without pointing out the obvious polling issue.
They also failed to shout out the organizations that have been protesting daily against the war! Standing Together עומדים ביחד has been organizing protests since day one of the operation.
Mondoweiss is showing itself as an unfair propagandist publication who is more interested in clicks and spicy headlines than actually giving a real picture.

Which is more than enough. Statistically, you only need 30 or so samples to get a normal distribution, at which case the error varies with 1/sqrt(n) for sample size n. This means that if a sample size of 8000 would only have 4 times less error (so from 4% to 2%) compared to one of 500. The mathematics of the thing is ironclad: Provided the sample is representative (i.e. doesn't unfairly over or underrepresent a particular group) and exceeds the mid-double digits*, any issues with sample size would manifest as a large calculated error.
Founded and funded by people and orgs that have a vested interest in this conflict. Like the heritage foundation polling for gay marriage.

Misinformation. There's literally Israeli Kinesset members that oppose the genocide in Gaza and the war with Iran. They are the minority, but they do exist.
Not to mention the Israeli citizens refusing to enlist in the military, who are sent to prison.
The fact that it's a minority means that the article is barely exaggerating. If they slapped the word majority or major majority infront of their statements and it made it accurate then you can't even call them a liar.

How many?
Israel is a sick and diseased society.
Israel really blows my mind. Pro or Anti Netanyanhu supporters still want to kill Arabs. Seeing interviews and social media pics of just regular Israelis casually wishing death is still so jarring to me.
Inhuman savages.
Then they'll claim people hate them "because we're Jews".
I was once quite a fierce supporter of israel. Maybe because I was trying too hard to not be antisemitic.
But this shit man... It's getting ridiculous.
They've lost all my sympathy
It's the same with minorities who are racist.
There are assholes in every society.
Just because they are marginalized by someone else doesn't make them any less of an asshole.
It makes them conservatives.
This got to be the level of head shaking that can break a neck and dislocate shoulders.
I'm all for shitting on these goons, but that pic is from 3 years ago and unrelated.
The picture in the original article does indeed mention that:

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that these same people were praising their soldiers for raping captured civilians?

Bloodthirsty pigs.
I understand the hate in the comments, but I think the important part is something else, How can the world deal with a country that only wants to commit genocide with all its neighbors? and not the government, the population in general. What can we do with this? How do we get out of the cycle of violence with people like this?
Not supporting and helping their fascists government and leaders would be a good start and would solve most of the problems.
It's pretty easy actually.
Israel's economy is dependent on US funding. If the US stopped sending them money, they couldn't commit genocide and also the economy would crash..leading to mass migration out of the country.
To be "fair" to hard-line settler types, the mood of the world is swinging so strongly against them and their regime, this might be the very last time they have a chance to get what they want.
Hopefully, they'll never find a world again that is as complacent as it is now.
Israelis are deeply supremacist and dont care what the world thinks, except insomuch as it affects their access to resources and influence. This is reflected in the targetting of their missiles in their "samson" doctrine. They targetted capitals across the world, including Europe.
All this makes sense… Instilled fear and paranoia for generations.. and now they collect the fruit of it.. people are afraid that Iran will nuclear bomb them (with a bomb that Iran doesn’t have) if they don’t final solution Iran
The bloodlust is real
The entire country is sick to its core. Death to pissrael. All of it.
