The way I see it Israel deserved the hell out of Oct 7th for like 50 years of slow motion genocide. Israelis did not though. Institution vs the innocent civillians caught in the crossfire.

See, I find myself agreeing, but am having trouble meshing those two, especially in what's been touted as "the middle east's only functional democracy"

How does a institution of, by, and for the people not count as a distillation of popular will?

I supposed in a liberal democracy that would be the case, but in reality the US and British governments rarely represent more than 1/3 of the population at best; with those being 'good' examples of democracy and Netanyahu being investigated for corruption the share of population actually represented by his administration is likely even lower.
