For sure. Nevertheless it is the state of Israel carrying out the dirty work, rather than a bunch of rogue Zionists doing it by themselves.

Agreed. The state of Israel is thoroughly in the hands of the Zionist elements.
My point is that the options and views of the people aren’t always well reflected in their government. A lot of countries have the same problem (US and UK, definitely!). It’s human nature to band together, when attacked from the outside. Focusing attacks on the culpable entity helps a lot in correcting that.

I mean your point is true in general but Israel just has that many genocidal maniacs. Just look how much support the war has, even though they want Natanyahu out.

Much of that is the effect of propaganda. Once it becomes “us Vs them” a lot of logical thinking goes out the window. The first step to countering it is to stop feeding into it.

I guess so, but what I meant is that this isn't a case of people being misrepresented by their government. The government is following the majority (which is growing, by the way) position of "let's genocide the Palestinians for Lebensraum", setting aside why that's the minority position. This mess won't end with Netanyahu and his ilk leaving.
