Discussion for the Israel-Hamas War: A thread in the Pit

Also, I think you unintentionally misrepresented me here:

I said:

My point is not that if Smotrich was PM tomorrow by the wave of a magic wand, that he would lead Israel into genocide. He would certainly try to, but he would never last in office, certainly not if he tried to genocide the Palestinians.

I was talking about a hypothetical where Israeli society was full of enough Smotrich supporters to get someone like him elected Prime Minister.
