Likud and other, even worse right-wing parties combined have the support of a large majority of Israelis. It would just be another coalition of the genocidal "God gave us this Land, so fuck off" sociopathic lunatics, the less extreme right-wing and Likud.

No, it's Israeli society itself that has to be shaken out of its impunity-driven, cocooned and West- protected, supremacist religio-ethnic foundations. It is now so firmly entrenched that even the world's revulsion about Gaza and coming reckoning may only serve to further deepen its sense of specialness and aggrievement - rather than serve as a vehicle for atonement and reconciliation/restitution of Palestinian rights.

But how do you change an entire value system and siege mentality bolstered by nationalist myths and unquestioning certitude of ALWAYS being the aggrieved party rather than the perpetrator of crimes, brutal occupation, land theft and aggression?

De-programming is much bigger than just getting rid of Netanyahu. I'm afraid it's not likely especially as religion is involved.
