Misinformation. There's literally Israeli Kinesset members that oppose the genocide in Gaza and the war with Iran. They are the minority, but they do exist.

Not to mention the Israeli citizens refusing to enlist in the military, who are sent to prison.

The fact that it's a minority means that the article is barely exaggerating. If they slapped the word majority or major majority infront of their statements and it made it accurate then you can't even call them a liar.

"The entire political spectrum" doesn't mean "every single person ever," or even "every single politician ever." The implication is only that the statement applies to all political segments of the population. If the left, right and center (and any other significant political blocs) mostly agree on something, then the whole political spectrum supports it, even if some people don't.
