    He’s not wrong if by “the dream” he means “whatever narrative is used to motivate the masses”. The US’s genocide is distant enough that they can pretend to have higher ideals, and people like Peeto will sometimes believe it. That’s simply not feasible while the genocide is ongoing.

      Evidence from looking at anything “Israeli” “liberals” say sadly indicates otherwise. “The dream” is alive in the minds of the delusional.

        Do you see much of that? As far as I can tell there are only about a dozen “Israeli” “liberals” remaining, and their liberalism is like “keep doing genocide but in a way that doesn’t look so bad. And also allow gay marriage”.

        Far from an expert but that’s my impression

          It’s more than a dozen, but your impression is mostly correct. “Israeli” “liberalism” is a dying ideology. They’re a shrinking minority, steadily turning into open fascists as far as I can tell. They’ll continue to exist for a while yet, though, because the idea of an “Israeli dream” is important to “Israel’s” propaganda and self-image.
