Toot by Serge from BabkaSerge from Babka (babka.social)

@jmb If the world wants Israelis never to vote for the right wing in large numbers, all it has to do is send its troops in and ensure that Palestinian terrorist groups don't have the power to make the lives of Israelis miserable. Also getting rid of that whole thing where Palestinians are perpetual refugees would also be good, but let's just start with the first agenda item. Since the world is unwilling to do any of this, Israelis will vote for whoever promises to rid them of the terrorist problem. Because unfortunately every single leftwing promise, especially from the outside Israel left, has left Israelis holding the bag, with October 7 being the final straw. And this isn't just about Israeli Jews. It's about Israeli Arabs too, who are, by the way, Palestinians.
