The entire Israeli political spectrum is united in blasting Netanyahu for not continuing to attack Iran, and Israeli society agrees. The reason, to put it simply, is that Israelis are war junkies.
You're using too broad a brush IMO.
From where I'm standing, you're the parent that says that if the bully is bigger, you should just bring a shiv to school and stab him.
Of course I would. And Israel is scared shitless of Hamas and Hezbollah launching rockets at cities, invading and mass murdering citizens. But still that doesn't mean everything it did is justified.
Here's the thing, I could write "Wow, the ~~Jews~~ Zionist sure do control the media and politics!", but then you'll say "ha ha, what a Zionist apologist, you really have one argument". If it helps, I don't think that's specifically anti-Jewish sentiment, it's just a sub-set of "there's some group that we don't like that has un-proportional power and use it to do bad things".
