You are delusional if you think all of this hasn’t increased Israeli support. Hell being anti-Isreal just makes you look pro-terrorist at this point. Isreal isn’t going anywhere, they would wipe Palestine off the map before they would even contemplate leaving.
Not true.
Israel is totally dependent on American and European support, but especially American support.

American support will probably last longer, but is also concentrated among older generations.
