Put simply, the second Intifada and now the 10/7 genocide have reduced the dove movement in Israel to a sliver. But we're seeing the revival of security libs as a powerful movement there now, maybe even the dominant one after Bibi is forced out.

I think it's very interesting how you define 10/7 as a genocide but reject the framing of the Gaza war as a genocide given the disproportionate amount of people it has killed

Was the US military assault on Japan a genocide?

It should honestly be pretty straightforward.

An attack primarily targeting civilians, with the express intention of penetrating the heart of the country and slaughtering every man, woman, and child found is clearly an act of genocide.

A direct military response to that genocidal attack is not a genocide.
