Ilan Pappé on coalition that won the Israeli elections in November 2022

Do remember what kind of a government the Israeli electorate voted for in November 2022.  They voted for a coalition that its main pillar were - not even Zionist Jews - were Messianic Jews that grew up in the settlements., who don't care about international opinion.  They think that God is on their side, and a very cruel, ruthless god is on their side.  History is on their side.  Their main problem is not just the world, but also weaklings like myself and you maybe, among the Jewish people, self-hating Jew, call them what you want.  

It's interesting how they read this event on the 7th of October.  They don't take any responsibility for this.  They say it will be a wakeup call for liberals as well to understand you cannot rely on anyone.  At the same time they're very happy that American sent two [aircraft] carriers into the Mediterranean.  

It's a moment of reckoning that we should not be misled by the optical illusions of the immediate reactions.  We have to wait and see whether these... misunderstandings about what the world has reacted to whether they will... penetrate this shield of Messianic Zionism, this extreme Zionism, that Israeli voters seem to like, judging be the results of the last elections.
