There was a comment on here yesterday about how all the pro-Palestine protests in its aftermath shocked many liberal Israelis, who’ve since decided that they are on their own and have little in common with the West.

It isn't true though.
Pro-Palestinian protests immediately after were tiny.
By a couple of weeks later, Israel was attacking Gaza (and there were already hundreds of civilians killed) and numbers grew. Even then most protests were calling for a ceasefire and supporters mentioning kidnaps too.

If they support their government's genocidal wars against every other country in the Middle East then fuck yes, they are on their own.
The initial reaction across the west was solidarity with Israel, but they went and pissed that away with their unconscionable overreaction.

I think it's naive to imagine people organising protests didn't want that outcome. E.g., they adopted Hamas's red triangle targeting symbol, named protests after Hamas's massacre, etc.
I can't say *why* they did it, but promoting Hamas (rather than, say, the PA/Palestinians generally) was a choice.

which is exactly why Trump is so malignant. When the world needed someone to forcibly restrain Netanyahu and channel Israeli grief/anger, it got an abusive enabler who saw real estate opportunities in a massacre

Yes, sure, an eye for an eye, etc.
But I think the Israelis exceeded their appropriate quota of 'Eyes' some time in the middle of their 'Dresdenisation' of Gaza.
And this isn't the first time that a need for 'Revenge' has

Imagine if the government knew the IRA was going to kidnap or kill all of Stockport, but decided to let it happen in order to generate the pretext for turning Northern Ireland and everything and everyone in it to rubble.
