Was listening to NPR while driving (yeah I know) and they had a segment on interviewing Israelis who just turned old enough to vote on how they're planning on voting in today's election. I'm genuinely shocked that they aired that shit.
The setup was trying it's hardest to be super sympathetic, all the focus was on October 7th and interviewing teens who lived in the area of the attack or who lost friends/family that day. This was absolutely not indended to make Israelis look psychotic.
But the second they passed the mic off to the teens themselves the whole illusion was lost. Two of the teens were getting ice cream together, and the one with braces said she's voting for Ben-Gvir because he is promising to hang Palestinians and she thinks they should all be killed. Another one of the teens said his top issue in the election is national security and that can be achieved by removing Muslims from Israel. Not a single person expressed any empathy and every one of them intended to vote for one of the rightmost candidates.
Obviously this isn't news to anyone on this sub, but you almost never see such mask off shit in western media. It was surreal to hear such blatant fascist rhetoric followed by the commentary of some old bitch from the Israel Democracy Institute talking about how it's actually a modern western nation in terms of values. It came off as parody.
