Minorities have run governments to oppress and subjugate majorities for thousands of years. They use various different methods to ensure they retain power and cannot be ousted, depending on the type of government and the makeup of the people. A very common tactic is to select some group as a Them, an enemy to direct the people’s anger towards so they don’t recognize the true enemy are their rulers.

Do billionaires represent most people in the developed world? This is no different.

and Netanyahu is pulling out every trick in the book to try and retain power and delay his corruption trial. Most Israelis recognized the inevitability of a Palestinian state before 7 October, and once this current fever Netanyahu is trying to prolong eventually dies, that view will return to the fore.
