So how much of a threat does this pose to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition?
And would his government survive the fallout from such a change of policy?

"I don't remember one occupation in which the occupier presented himself as the victim, “we are the victims, we are forced to kill their children, poor us.” -Israeli journalist Gideon Levy

Perhaps Israel needs to change from being a military state to being a more beneficent state giving equal rights for all of the people, and ending the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.

Netanyahu is obviously desperate

That "vibrant democracy" really seems to be thriving under its current government.

The IDF need as much help as they can get against their war against Children, babies, woman and old men

"Carry the burden". What burden? You mean the burden of committing genocide or what?

No one should be forced into ANY military...

ANTI ISRAEL IS NOT ANTI SEMITIC ✝️
-
Not one single soldier is needed, what Israel needs to do is to let the Palestinians have their land and to stop its wicked and vile brutality against the innocent Palestinians. Honest and beautiful people don't see Hamas as a terrorist group or organisation but see Israel as a terrorist state, a vile one to be precise.
