    "The country" is not the people. Israel is home to a multitude of peoples, many of which do not identify with what the government is doing.

      Over 90% of Israeli Jews agree with the genocide in Gaza, the only opposition comes from the 20% or so Palestinian population (Israeli Arabs).

        Hm OK. I'm not aware of these numbers. My only interactions with Israelis is immigrants and travellers, so I guess I have a strong bias.

      Completely, yes. But how many? Plenty of surveys out there asking the Israeli people what they want to do about the Palestine problem.
