The last 3 years have shown exactly the result of the defense doctrine you’re describing: genocide and ethnic cleansing, brutality that will haunt its victims for generations and a global rise in antisemism while the Israeli regime uses Diaspora Jews as human shields for its atrocities. So no, the framing of poor Israel defending itself from attacks needs to end. This isn’t just some leaders and individuals, this is deeply systemic. Israel needs to dismantle the apartheid system, end the occupation, pay reparations, and undergo deep deradicalization and de-zionization of its institutions including the education system and its media.
