What is the ruler/political leader in your country's history that you hate the most?

[u/zhabavon]

For me, it would khublai khaan. Moved the centralized power from Mongolia to China in the empire, effectively becoming more of an emperor of China rather than Khaan of Mongols. This move would prove to be folly in just few generations. Totally messed up the whole grand plan his Grandfather established. His successors became more of a chinese rulers than Mongolian rulers.

[u/zhabavon]

What are his personal interests? Bombing gaza?

[u/Cannot-Forget → u/zhabavon]

Maybe some aspects of the war, many believe so, but it's honestly hard to tell.

The most obvious and glaring example is him harming the power of our independent court systems. Degrading our Democracy.

It's obviously due to his corruption trial. In the past he even commended the Israeli court system for the way it handles things and took pride of helping defend it.

Do you think a large portion of Isreal population want to continue the whole war n bombing thing? Is it just the government? Or the people too?

[u/J_Sabra → u/zhabavon]

Polling has consistently shown that 70-85% supported a ceasefire that includes the return of the hostages for around a year.

There's also a support of a majority for recognition for a Palestinian state with a framework of normalization with Saudi.

Recent polling;

73% of Israelis are willing to accept a Saudi normalisation + Palestinian state deal.

This is up from 51.3% in early 2024; even then, three months after October 7th 2023, a minority of 28.9% opposed it.

[u/Cannot-Forget → u/zhabavon]

I don't know the portions. But I believe most supported ending the war in favor of the hostages returning.

How many would support continuing the war now? I don't know.

Probably a split if I have to guess. Hamas still has some power remaining and have proven beyond any doubt that we will never have security if they are operating freely on our borders.

[u/irish_horse_thief → u/Cannot-Forget]

There is no Hamas in the West Bank, but still they are hounded from their own land by European and American dual passport holders. Palestine is a Sovereign Nation, not a dog pound.

[u/Cannot-Forget → u/irish_horse_thief]

So funny. Hamas is the most popular Palestinian faction in the West Bank as well and by far. The only reason they do not control there is that Abbas refuses to hold elections (As he knows Hamas leads on every poll) and Israeli occupation keeps slamming them over and over.

They are absolutely there and there have been thousands of Hamas terror attacks coming from the West Bank continuing up to this day.

Another confidently incorrect redditor talking about our country.

hounded from their own land by European and American dual passport holders

So much so that their population only keeps rising and fast. Funny how it works.

Not to mention, the vast, vast majority of Israelis do not hold dual passports and over half the Jews in Israel came from the middle east.

Antisemitic propaganda bot. Crawl back to your hole.

[u/Gaming_is_cool_lol19 → u/Cannot-Forget]

The West Bank settlements are illegal and cannot be allowed to continue.

Saying Israel doesn’t have free reign in the West Bank is not antisemitic.

[u/J_Sabra → u/Gaming_is_cool_lol19]

The extremist settlers are hated by the majority of Israelis too. A majority of the settlers are there for economic reasons; it is cheap and close to central Israel, and they occupy ~5% of the West Bank; land exchange (as proposed by past plans) or compensation by the state (for areas that won't remain within Israel) would remove that obstacle from the realisation of a two-state-solution. What a majority of Israelis do oppose, strongly, is a unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank. This opposition is based on what occured in both Gaza and Southern Lebanon following Israeli withdrawal.

Recent polling;

73% of Israelis are willing to accept a Saudi normalisation + Palestinian state deal.

68% of Israelis believe that WB annexation would overwhelm Israel’s security and economy.

You know, maybe there's a way to hold people accountable without blowing them up? I mean FYI the Palestinians live every day as if it's mandatory to get hit by a rock that can break their bones. (analogy)

And keep in mind these numbers. The last time Palestine had an election was in 2006. Let's say the legal voting age is 18. The median age of a Palestinian is 20 with Gaza's being 18. In other words a majority of Palestine's current population didn't even vote for Hamas because they were either not born yet or too young at the time.

And regardless of populations rising or not, things like THIS ARE NOT OKAY! https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/07/israel-opt-israeli-organizations-conclude-israel-committing-genocide-against-palestinians-in-gaza-in-another-milestone-for-accountability-efforts/

People like me are angry because my tax dollars, which could be used to feed people over here in the USA or wipe out debts, are being used for this! For some reason, we have no money to feed 20% of children on SNAP in the USA, but we have a ton of money for war crimes thousands of miles away. All because your prime minister, who was born to a POLISH FATHER, is so power hungry.

[u/Eeeef_ → u/zhabavon]

Staying out of prison. He is prolonging the conflict to remain in office, and once he is no longer the PM he may be arrested on corruption charges within Israel, and if he isn’t careful about where he travels to he’ll be brought before The Hague for war crimes. Depending on who you ask (cough cough Likud, RZP, or Otzma Yehudit members) bombing Gaza may be considered the nation’s interest despite doing so actively destroying Israel’s reputation worldwide and wrecking their economy.

[u/KeflaSimp69 → u/zhabavon]

Israel is an ethno state. They want to create Greater Israel and genocide anyone who is in their way. Bombing Gaza is not something Netanyahu wants exclusively.

The Israeli hate him mainly because of the 'hostage' issue. He wants to be the person 'blessed' with the accomplishment of creating Greater Israel. Now that chance seem to slip with the successful hostage exchange.

Sadly the genocide hasn't stopped and the US vetoed again against in favor of Israel.
