Israeli citizens require a lot of deprogramming, and they are mostly saveable.
However, the bad news is that it may not be possible to do that without invading the country, since a majority of them are too far gone to accept deprogramming without serious coercion.
I look at the example of deprogramming efforts in West Germany after WW2. Denazifying efforts did exist there, despite modern western communist revisionism (not all wrong, btw, but not all correct either, check ALL sources my ML and tankie friends). It was quite difficult in many cases; even though a majority of the German population was just relieved that the war was over, they would have kept resisting if their country had survived. And there was a sizeable minority that only stopped being Nazis openly to avoid persecution.
Edit: and to be clear, I share your view that writing victims of propaganda off as enemies not deserving of leniency is monstrous. It is akin to what the fascists do. We must recognise the humanity in our enemies, while accepting that sometimes it is still necessary to kill them.
We must only kill the poor bastards if it is necessary to stop them murdering others, not just because they are “monsters” and it feels good.

If that was true, that the majority need deprogramming…
Why does Bibi keep cancelling elections due to his faction not standing a chance of winning again?
Like, you do realize the reason he keeps starting wars is that this is his ex use to stay in power because his citizens don’t want him in power?
Some do, some do in every country
But the majority don’t want this path, youre operating under Bibi’s propaganda that he has total support.
You are discounting the idea that a lot of voters think Bibi is not killing enough.
By “a lot”…
Do you mean “not enough to win an election since 2021?”
Quite possible. It’s double figures at least, according to polls.
