Not only are there more radical, right-wing parties, but many if not most Israelis cheer on the deaths of Palestinians. Even children do. They are taught to hate. They do not believe Palestinians are human beings. That is a serious problem.
I myself don’t use the word Zionist because I believe Israel has a right to exist. What I don’t support is the ever encroaching conquest of the region that sees no end in sight. That a country exists does not give in the right to expand and exterminate entire populations in its wake.
